Two Republican lawmakers recently claimed that a Department of Homeland Security whistleblower during the Obama administration didn’t commit suicide. Philip Haney, 66, died last month while police ruled that the cause of death was likely a single, self-inflicted gunshot wound.

GOP Reps. Steve King of Iowa and Louie Gohmert of Texas both alleged that Haney didn’t commit suicide in speeches on the House floor last week.
