Today, Congressman Diane Black (R-TN-06) issued the following statement on the news that Attorney General Eric Holder is resigning: “I welcome the news that Mr. Holder will be leaving this Administration,” said Congressman Black. “Mr. Holder’s time in office has been mired by scandal and controversy, resulting in the House holding him in contempt of Congress for his refusal to be forthcoming in the ‘Fast and Furious’ investigation. Furthermore, Mr. Holder has so far refused to responsibly address the IRS’ targeting of conservatives – an egregious offense against the American people and against the Constitution he is sworn to protect. My colleagues and I on the Ways and Means Committee referred him to three possible areas where charges might be brought against former IRS official Lois Lerner, and his Justice Department has refused to act. I hope his replacement will be well qualified and have the respect for Congress that the position of Attorney General requires.”
