House Oversight Committee Recommendation to Hold Attorney General Eric Holder in Contempt of Congress

The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform is recommending that the House of Representatives hold Attorney General Eric Holder in Contempt of Congress. Holder and the Department of Justice have failed to comply with congressional subpoenas concerning Justice Department documents about the Fast and Furious gunwalking operation, which allowed around 2,000 firearms to fall into the hands of drug cartels in Mexico and led to the death of a U.S. Border Patrol Agent. The Committee on Oversight and Goverment Reform is working to hold Top Justice Officials accountable for their actions in the Fast and Furious Operation.
