PHOENIX -- Arizona Congressman Trent Franks is one of five Republican congressmen to sign a series of letters that have sparked a national firestorm, but he has yet to respond to any of the criticism.

The letters allege the Muslim Brotherhood is infiltrating the U.S. government and claim a top Hillary Clinton aide has links to the extremist group.

Minnesota Rep. Michele Bachmann is the lead author of the letters, which were sent to inspectors general of multiple government agencies.

The letters say the State Department's Deputy Chief of Staff Huma Abedin "has three family members--her late father, her mother and her brother--connected to Muslim Brotherhood operatives and/or organizations. Her position affords her routine access to the Secretary and to policy-making."
