The Office of the Secretary of War on Monday escalated its preliminary review of Sen. Mark Kelly, D-Ariz., to a full command investigation, according to a report. The investigation into Kelly for 'serious allegations of misconduct' has intensified, according to a Pentagon official, first reported by Punchbowl News, with a new probe in conjunction with the Department of War's Office of the General Counsel.

The department previously announced it had launched a formal review into allegations of misconduct against Kelly over a video calling on service members to 'refuse illegal orders.' KELLY SHRUGS OFF TRUMP COURT-MARTIAL THREAT, SAYS GROWING UP IN TONY SOPRANO’S HOMETOWN MADE HIM ‘RESILIENT’ Kelly said in a statement that 'it should send a shiver down the spine of every patriotic American that the president and secretary of defense would abuse their power to come after me or anyone this way.' 'It wasn’t enough for Donald Trump to say I should be hanged,' he continued. 'It wasn’t enough for Pete Hegseth to threaten me with a court martial. Now they are threatening everything I fought and served for across twenty-five years in the U.S. Navy—all because I repeated something every service member is taught.' Kelly added that he will 'keep doing my job representing Arizona.'

Tomorrow, and the next day, I will keep doing my job representing Arizona.' Fox News Digital has reached out to the Department of War and Kelly's office for comment.
