Sen. Elissa Slotkin says feds are investigating her after military video
Slotkin said last week she received an inquiry from US Attorney Jeanine Pirro's District of Columbia office.
www.fox7austin.comHere’s the latest I can share based on recent reporting.
- There was a federal probe report in January 2026 related to Elissa Slotkin over a video urging service members to refuse illegal orders. Slotkin’s office confirmed the inquiry but did not provide additional details. This story was covered by NBC News and echoed by other outlets at the time.[1][2]
- Fox News reported Slotkin described receiving thousands of threats, including credible ones, in the wake of the controversy, and noted heightened security for her and her family.[2]
- Local and national outlets continued to follow developments through early 2026, including Slotkin’s statements and responses to the investigations. A related piece from CBS News referenced a grand jury outcome in February 2026 regarding indictment related to the video, noting no indictment was brought in that proceeding.[10]
If you’d like, I can pull in more context on:
- What the video showed and the legal questions the inquiry considered.
- The current status of the investigation and any official statements from Slotkin or prosecutors.
- Any recent political implications or reactions from colleagues.
