Rep. Jason Chaffetz and other House GOP leaders say they're pursuing a plan to hold Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt of Congress for stonewalling their efforts to investigate the Fast and Furious gun-tracking program.

Reports Fox News:

“We have issued a subpoena,” Utah GOP Rep. Jason Chaffetz, a member of the oversight committee, said earlier on Fox News. “We have bent over backwards to be patient and take time. (Holder) is leading us down a path where we have no other choice.”

The resolution, if approved by the GOP-led House, could force Holder to release thousands of pages of documents related to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives’ program.

Holder and other Justice Department officials say they are cooperating with Congress’ investigators.
