US Attorney General found in criminal contempt of Congress
On Wednesday, US Republican Senator Scott Brown had called on Holder to resign, accusing him of misleading Congress, saying “he can’t effectively serve the president.” - “For the best interest of the country, I think he should step down and resign. He’s lost the confidence of the American people. Certainly, he’s lost the confidence of Congress. He misled Congress. They have a right to know,” Brown added. Democrats accused Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa and other Republican lawmakers of taking political advantage out of targeting Holder.
