White House press secretary Jay Carney resisted pointed questions from reporters in a press briefing on Wednesday about Attorney General Eric Holder’s involvement in the controversy surrounding the warrant issued for Fox News reporter James Rosen.
“I see no conflict between what [Holder] said and the published reports,” Carney said.
The House Judiciary Committee is currently investigating whether Holder’s testimony that he was never involved in the persecution of the press contradicts a report that he personally authorized Rosen search warrant.
“You guys are conflating the subpoena with prosecution,” Carney countered.
