Jan. 12 (UPI) -- Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., filed a lawsuit Monday against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth and the Pentagon for trying to censure and demote him.
Kelly's suit alleges that their efforts are "unlawful and unconstitutional."
Last week, Hegseth announced that the Defense Department is reducing Kelly's retirement pay over comments he made in November in a video telling service members that they have the right and duty to ignore "unlawful orders."
Hegseth alleges that the video was "seditious."
