Full House Votes on Contempt Charges Against Atty. Gen. Holder | C-SPAN: Following last week's vote in the House Oversight Committee, the full House takes up the issue of whether to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in Contempt of Congress for his role in the investigation into the "Fast and Furious" program.
The Department of Justice and the House leadership were in talks to prevent the vote until early Wednesday morning, when the AP reported they failed to reach an agreement.
The House Oversight Committee, under the leadership of Chairman Darrel Issa (R-CA), is seeking documents relating to the "Fast and Furious" program in which guns sold in South-Western states were tracked in hopes of tracing them to leaders of drug rings across the border in Mexico. Guns in the program were later used in several crimes, including the murder of a Border Patrol Agent.
