House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan is asking two top Biden administration officials information regarding the arrest of a Pakistani man recently arrested on suspicion of planning several political assassinations, former President Donald Trump's among them.
Concretely, Jordan sent letters to Secretary of State Antony Blinken and Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, seeking information about Asif Merchant, who had ties to Iran and traveled to the U.S. to "recruit individuals to carry out his plot to assassinate U.S. government officials."
