Congress Demands FBI, DHS Answers on Alleged Iranian Plot Involving Pakistani National Targeting Trump by August 27th
Aug 16, 2024, 11:17 AM
Members of the U.S. Congress, including Senators Peters, Paul, Blumenthal, and Johnson, are demanding answers from the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) regarding an alleged assassination plot linked to an Iranian agent targeting former President Donald Trump. The inquiry focuses on how a Pakistani national, Asif Merchant, allegedly involved in the plot, was allowed to enter the United States. The lawmakers are pressing for details on when and how the FBI became aware of Merchant's activities, what information was available at that time, and whether it was shared with the Secret Service. House Republicans and a bipartisan task force are also involved in pressing for more information, with a deadline for responses set for August 27th.
