House Republicans are pressing the White House to appoint a special counsel to determine whether Attorney General Eric Holder lied about his knowledge of the Fast and Furious gun operation, reports Fox News.
CBS News has obtained several memos and an e-mail showing that Holder had knowledge of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives' "Operation Fast and Furious" as early as July 5, 2010, which would directly contradict his testimony to Congress on May 3, where he said, "I probably heard about Fast and Furious for the first time over the last few weeks."
