A defiant Attorney General Eric Holder said he had no plans to step down in the wake of the mushrooming Fast and Furious scandal, in which the Department of Justice’s Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives allowed guns to “walk” into Mexico, where they fell into the hands of drug lords.
“I have no intention of resigning,” Holder said in testimony before the House Judiciary committee, arguing that he was the Attorney General who had ended the tactics.
Operation Fast and Furious began in 2009, while Holder was leading the Justice Department.
Holder also said he didn’t think anybody at the DOJ should resign.
