The Democrat lawmakers who encouraged US troops to disobey illegal orders are pushing back on an alleged federal inquiry into their actions.

Democratic Senator Elissa Slotkin of Michigan said the FBI on Monday notified the six lawmakers who appeared in last week's video of the investigation.

"No amount of intimidation or harassment will ever stop us from doing our jobs and honoring our Constitution," four US House members said.

Slotkin said on Tuesday that the FBI's counterterrorism unit sent a note to the Congress members to notify them of an alleged inquiry into the lawmakers.

"The President's reaction and the use of the FBI against us is exactly why we made the video," she said at an event in Michigan.

"He believes in using the federal government against his perceived adversaries, and he's not afraid to use the arms of the government against people he disagrees with," she said, describing Trump's actions as "a scare tactic".

Likewise, US representatives Deluzio, Goodlander, Houlahan and Crow said that Trump is using the FBI as "tool to intimidate and harass" members of Congress, confirming that the FBI contacted the House and Senate Sergeants at Arms to request interviews.
