WASHINGTON - On Sunday, U.S. Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wis.) sent a letter to Department of Justice (DOJ) Attorney General Merrick Garland, Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) Director Christopher Wray requesting the agencies preserve all records referring or relating to the protective detail of former President Trump. The letter additionally requested information relating to the security plans of the July 13, 2024 assassination attempt on the former president.
