Hegseth warned 'outlandish' crusade is 'doomed to flame out'

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth's crusade to punish Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ) for reminding military members they can refuse illegal orders is falling apart, and fast, legal experts say.

Controversy exploded in November when Kelly and five other military-veteran lawmakers released a 90-second video telling service members, "our laws are clear — you can refuse illegal orders. … You must refuse illegal orders."

Though the video didn't name Trump, the timing, which came amid threats toward Venezuela, sent a clear message.
