Injured Rep. Scalise Calls Republican Colleagues

Rep. Steve Scalise, R-La., called in Monday to a House Republican conference call.

In a tweet after the call, Scalise, the House majority whip, said he looked forward to returning to work in the House.

Enjoyed talking to my @HouseGOP colleagues on the phone today & look forward to seeing them all once I'm able!

CBS News reported that the call was to discuss government funding.

A gunman who targeted legislators shot Scalise during a June attack on a congressional baseball practice in Virginia. Scalise's date to return to work has "not yet been determined" by his doctors, a Scalise aide told Politico.

In the wake of the violence in Charlottesville, Virginia, Scalise sent a tweet condemning "bigotry and violence."
