Former U.S. President Donald Trump has said that six Democratic lawmakers who appeared in a video urging military personnel not to obey illegal orders should be jailed. The video, released Friday, featured Senators and Representatives Mark Kelly, Elissa Slotkin, Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Chrissy Houlahan, and Maggie Goodlander. Trump labeled their message as 'high treason' and claimed there could be no other interpretation of their words. Democrats condemned Trump’s remarks as dangerous and hateful threats against lawmakers who have served in the military or intelligence services. The controversy follows Trump’s recent orders to deploy the National Guard in several U.S. cities, which some local authorities opposed, and his authorization of controversial maritime operations that reportedly killed over 80 people. Trump has previously made similar comments suggesting death penalties for acts he considers treasonous, drawing criticism from political opponents and legal experts.
