Senator Mark Kelly Sues Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth

Senator Mark Kelly, who served in the military for 25 years, is suing Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

Kelly says Hegseth is trying to take away benefits he earned through his military service.

He also says Hegseth is violating his rights as an American, a veteran, and a senator.

Kelly's job is to hold the administration accountable, and he believes Hegseth is making it difficult for him to do that.

He shared his concerns on a social media platform called X.
