Rep. Mark Green, R-Tenn., chair of the House Homeland Security Committee, and August Pfluger, R-Texas, chair of the Subcommittee on Counterterrorism, Law Enforcement, and Intelligence, wrote a letter Friday to FBI Director Christopher Wray requesting additional information regarding the arrest of Asif Merchant, 46, on a charge of murder for hire.
