WASHINGTON — Three more Democrats said Wednesday that federal prosecutors contacted them following their participation in a video urging members of the military and the intelligence community not to follow illegal orders. Reps. Jason Crow of Colorado, Maggie Goodlander of New Hampshire and Chrissy Houlahan of Pennsylvania all struck defiant tones in saying they would fight back against any investigation by the Trump administration.

"Donald Trump called for my arrest, prosecution, and execution—all because I said something he didn’t like. Now he’s pressuring his political appointees to harass me for daring to speak up and hold him accountable," Crow said in a statement.

Goodlander said on X, "It is sad and telling that simply stating a bedrock principle of American law caused the President of the United States to threaten violence against me, and it is downright dangerous that the Justice Department is targeting me for doing my job. "These threats will not deter, distract, intimidate, or silence me," she added.

Houlahan, in her social media post, said, "The six of us are being targeted not because we said something untrue, but because we said something President Trump and Secretary Hegseth didn’t want anyone to hear."
