“Top Justice Department officials, including Attorney General Holder, know more about Operation Fast and Furious than they have publicly acknowledged,” Darrell Issa, chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee said in a statement.
“The documents this subpoena demands will provide answers to questions that Justice officials have tried to avoid since this investigation began eight months ago,” Issa added. “It’s time we know the whole truth.”
The subpoena requests internal communications within the Justice Department, as well as communications with White House, the ATF, FBI, DEA, the Mexican government, and a gun store known to have supplied many of the weapons used in the Fast and Furious operation.
