GOP House Leaders Demand Fast and Furious Answers from Holder

House Republican leaders have joined the effort to push Attorney General Eric Holder to provide more information about the Fast and Furious gun walking operation.

House Speaker John Boehner, Majority Leader Eric Cantor, and Whip Kevin McCarthy joined Oversight Committee Chairman Darrell Issa in sending a letter to Holder Friday, demanding more information about the government program to sell weapons to Mexican criminals.

The move is important, because so far it’s just been Issa spearheading the investigation. He and some other Republicans want to hold Holder in contempt of Congress for not cooperating with the committee’s investigation.

Later Boehner said "all options are on the table" in the investigation during the taping of an interview for ABC's "This Week," which will air on Sunday.

Congress wants "to hold everyone at the Department of Justice and the administration accountable for what happened or what didn't happen in Fast and Furious," he said.
