Rep. Darrell Issa (R-CA), chairman of the House Oversight Committee, wrote in a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder on Friday afternoon that he is willing to postpone a hearing on a contempt resolution planned for Wednesday if the Justice Department turns over document they offered up yesterday.

“While I do have substaintial concerns that these documents may not be sufficient to allow the Committee to complete its investigation, delivery of these documents to the Committee before the scheduled consideration of contempt at 10:00 a.m. on Wednesday, June 20, 2012, would be sufficient to justify the postponement of the proceeding to allow for the review of materials,” Issa wrote.
