Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin on Thursday responded to the high school shooting in Florida by urging Congress to “look at these issues,” but without any specific recommendation.

“Personally, I think the gun violence — it’s a tragedy what we’ve seen yesterday, and I urge Congress to look at these issues,” Mnuchin said at an unrelated hearing in the House Ways and Means Committee.
