Several Democratic members of Congress say they're the targets of an FBI probe following a controversial video they released last week urging military service personnel to be aware of their duty to refuse un-Constitutional and unlawful orders from their superiors.

Representatives Jason Crow, Chris Deluzio, Maggie Goodlander, and Chrissy Houlahan issued a joint statement Tuesday saying President Donald Trump is using the FBI as "a tool to intimidate and harass" them.

They wrote the FBI had contacted them -- as well as Senators Mark Kelly and Elissa Slotkin -- to request interviews. They said they won't back down from "intimidation or harassment."

Reality star Savannah Chrisley could end up launching the next American political dynasty ... because she just talked to her dad, Todd, about the possibility of running for office on Tuesday's episode of the "Unlocked With Savannah Chrisley" podcast.

If you're thinking Savannah going into politics isn't the best idea, you're not alone. According to Savannah, a lot of people in Donald Trump's administration have advised her that politics isn't the only way to have a positive effect on the world ... and in fact, with her following, she could be more impactful outside of government, where she wouldn't have to give up her life. But she just might not listen.

She says because she has a voice that "95 percent of the politicians" don't have, it might end up making sense to her.

LAPD has come out officially to dispute TMZ's story -- that the body of Celeste Rivas was partially frozen when it was examined -- but one source has doubled down.

A source connected to the L.A. County Medical Examiner insists Celeste's body was partially frozen when it was discovered inside a car registered to singer D4vd. This is in square contradiction to what LAPD is saying on the record.

It's interesting ... in one document from the Medical Examiner, it reads, "The decedent was not live scanned due to waterlogged fingers." Translation ... the M.E. was unable to fingerprint Celeste's body.

Trump’s pulling his pal Brett Ratner back into the mix, per Semafor ... he wants BR to revive the franchise that originally put his directing career on the map -- yup, the same director whose career hit the brakes after multiple #MeToo sexual-assault allegations in 2017.

The "Slender Man" stabber escape has taken another turn ... Morgan Geyser -- the internet horror character-inspired killer -- ran away from a group home because she was reportedly going to be barred from seeing her transgender friend.

As you know, Geyser cut off her ankle bracelet Saturday night and slipped away from the group home in Madison, Wisconsin, where she was living under the authority of the Department of Corrections. Police launched a nationwide manhunt and recaptured Geyser the very next day ... and it's now reported Geyser was found with her transgender friend, Chad "Charly" Mecca, at a truck stop in Posen, Illinois, near Chicago.

Geyser, 23, was not hit with any local charges because it would only serve to prolong her extradition back to Wisconsin, police said. An extradition hearing is slated for today in Cook County.
