US Senator Mark Kelly to be Investigated by Pentagon for Second Time
Senator Mark Kelly has called on the Pentagon to investigate him for a second time, following his public statements about a classified briefing. The investigation was first initiated in 2023.
According to reports, Kelly had made several public comments regarding the briefing, which some have interpreted as potentially sensitive information. As a result, he has been requested by the Pentagon to provide additional information and clarification on his statements.
The Pentagon has confirmed that it will review Kelly’s public statements about the classified briefing, amid an ongoing feud between the senator and a prominent conservative commentator, Hegseth.
Hegseth had previously called for Kelly to be investigated by the Pentagon, citing concerns over national security. The investigation is expected to focus on Kelly’s comments regarding the briefing, which some have described as potentially sensitive or classified information.
The Pentagon has not provided further details on the nature of the investigation or what specific information it will review. However, the development marks a significant escalation in the feud between Kelly and Hegseth, with both parties trading public barbs and accusations over the past few weeks.
Kelly’s office has declined to comment on the matter, citing ongoing negotiations with the Pentagon. The investigation is expected to be completed soon, although no timeline has been provided.
