The U.S. Navy has submitted a report to the Department of War’s (DOW’s) top legal office, offering its assessment of the potential case against Sen. Mark Kelly (D-Ariz.) after he and other Democratic lawmakers filmed a video last month advising U.S. military personnel to disobey what they called illegal orders.

“The Navy submitted the report to the DOW’s Office of General Counsel, where they are providing a legal review and input,” a Pentagon official told The Epoch Times on Dec. 11.
