A group of Democratic lawmakers who made a video encouraging service members to go against orders that seemed illegal will be interviewed by the Capitol Police at the direction of the FBI and the Department of Justice, according to a report The group includes Sen. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich.; Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz.; Rep. Chris Deluzio, D-Pa.; Rep. Maggie Goodlander, D-N. H.; Rep. Chrissy Houlahan, D-Pa.; and Rep. Jason Crow. They released a video last week saying in part, “Our laws are clear. You can refuse illegal orders.” President Donald Trump responded to the video by calling for their arrests and labeling their conduct “seditious. THE TRAITORS THAT TOLD THE MILITARY TO DISOBEY MY ORDERS SHOULD BE IN JAIL RIGHT NOW, NOT ROAMING THE FAKE NEWS NETWORKS TRYING TO EXPLAIN THAT WHAT THEY SAID WAS OK,” Trump said in a post on Truth Social Saturday. Newsweek reached out to the FBI by email Tuesday for comment.

Trump says he doesn’t know who Binance Founder CZ is, despite pardoning him
Last year, Changpeng Zhao (AKA “CZ”), the founder of Binance—the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange—pleaded guilty to money laundering charges.
Last month, he was pardoned by President Donald Trump. However, this week, Trump stated that he has no idea who CZ is.
During an interview on the latest episode of 60 Minutes, Trump revealed that he doesn’t know much about CZ, despite having pardoned him just weeks ago.
“Okay, are you ready? I don’t know who he is,” Trump said during the interview, as quoted by CNBC. “I don’t know the man at all. I don’t think I ever met him,” he continued.
When asked how he came to pardon a man he doesn’t know, Trump explained that his family’s involvement in the crypto business influenced his decision.
“My sons are involved in crypto much more than I—me. I—I know very little about it, other than one thing. It’s a huge industry,” he said.
Trump also added that he “was told” CZ was a victim of the Biden Administration.
