Summary

Capitol Police have been contacted by the FBI and the Department of Justice in order to schedule meetings with members of Congress who appeared in a video encouraging service members to ignore orders they may deem 'illegal.' Last week, a group of Democratic lawmakers with military and intelligence backgrounds released a video directed at service members and intelligence officers telling them - "You can refuse illegal orders." Meanwhile, the fallout continues from the dismissal of charges against FBI Director James Comey and New York AG Letitia James. FOX's Ryan Schmelz speaks with David Spunt, Washington DC based correspondent for FOX News Channel (FNC), who shares the latest on both legal fights.
