The FBI has requested interviews with six Democratic members of the U.S. Congress who in a video message told members of the military they can legally refuse to carry out unlawful orders, a Justice Department official told Reuters on Tuesday.

The estate of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein has called out claims that it is not cooperating with the FBI ahead of the looming release of the Epstein files. FBI Director Kash Patel complained this week that the Epstein estate is refusing to hand over documents to investigators.

The group appeared in a video last week that called on service members and members of the intelligence community to "refuse illegal orders."

Austin Begay, 31, is charged with first-degree murder, while Jaymes Fage, 38, is accused of aiding and abetting. Both Navajo men and a third defendant, 40-year-old Joshua Watkins, also face charges for lying to investigators to conceal the killing.

The FBI is attempting to schedule interviews with the six Democratic members of Congress who made a video saying troops should not obey any illegal orders.

Kash Patel may soon be removed as FBI director because President Donald Trump is tiring of the headlines caused by his use of a government jet and his alleged insistence that a SWAT team protect his country singer girlfriend, according to a report. Trump is reportedly considering replacing Patel, 45, with senior FBI official Andrew Bailey.

Decades after the 1975 murder of young mother Judith Lord, the case is being described as "solved," according to a New Hampshire attorney general's report.

Members of Congress who produced an explosive video last week said Tuesday they have been informed that the FBI is investigating them.
