Attorney General Eric Holder said at a press conference on Tuesday that he had ordered an investigation into the IRS scandal, in which the agency has admitted to unfairly targeting conservative groups’ applications for non-profit status.

“The FBI is coordinating with the Justice Department to see if any laws were broken in connection with those matters related to the IRS,” Holder said. “We are examining the facts to see if there were criminal violations.”
