US House members ask for more security amid fears they're targets

Letter sent to Nancy Pelosi and Kevin McCarthy asks if Congress members can use personal allowances for additional security

Pervasive fear among some members of Congress that they will be the targets of further politically motivated violence following the deadly insurrection at the US Capitol has led more than 30 of them write a letter to House leaders.

The group sent the letter to the House of Representatives speaker, Nancy Pelosi, and the Republican minority leader, Kevin McCarthy, asking for more support over security concerns.
