U.S. House Speaker John Boehner said on Sunday that Republicans plan to file a civil suit to force the Justice Department to release of more information on the botched ATF drug-running case known as Fast & Furious, ABC News reports.
The suit is the latest effort to force the release of related material after the Justice Department said it would not prosecute Attorney General Eric Holder, who was held in contempt of Congress last week for refusing to turn over the documents.
The Obama administration used executive privilege to block Congressional access to the records.
