Attorney General Eric Holder won’t be prosecuted for failing to provide the U.S. House with documents lawmakers requested about a federal gun operation, the Justice Department said.
The department’s decision, described in a letter to U.S. House Speaker John Boehner, came after the House voted yesterday to cite Holder for contempt. At issue is material related to the Fast and Furious gun operation, which allowed illegally purchased firearms from the U.S. to wind up at crime scenes in Mexico.
