Overview

• Rep. Chip Roy led 23 House Republicans in a letter requesting a select committee to probe the money and influence they allege drive left-wing political violence.
• The requested panel would have full subpoena powers, with the letter addressed to Speaker Mike Johnson and Chairs Jim Jordan and James Comer.
• The letter names the SPLC, George Soros’s Open Society network, and the Wren Collective, drawing denials and condemnations of the killing from those organizations.
• Authorities arrested 22-year-old Tyler Robinson and cited physical evidence, including engravings on recovered bullet casings, while not publicly confirming a motive.
• President Trump vowed federal action to investigate groups he says fund violence, as the House request remains a proposal without authorization or a launch date.
