Rep. Haley Stevens Condemns Federal Investigation Targeting Senator Elissa Slotkin

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Yesterday, Senator Elissa Slotkin (D-MI) announced that she was under federal investigation for filming a video urging military service members to refuse “illegal orders.”

In response to the Trump administration’s continuous weaponization of the federal government, Michigan Congresswoman Haley Stevens released the following statement:

“Elissa Slotkin is a patriot who has dedicated herself to serving our country. I strongly condemn the Trump administration’s weaponization of the Justice Department to intimidate Senator Slotkin for doing exactly what her oath of office requires: defending the Constitution and the rule of law. Reminding service members that they have a duty to refuse illegal orders is not sedition. It is a safeguard of democracy.

“Using law enforcement to retaliate against elected officials is dangerous and straight out of the authoritarian playbook. I stand with Senator Slotkin and with every public servant who honors their oath and fights to uphold the Constitution.”
