Call for Eric Holder Resignation


Growing Chorus Calling for Holder's Resignation

Calls for Attorney General Eric Holder to resign are getting louder -- and those calls are coming from Republicans and Democrats.

Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee are raising questions of perjury.

In a letter to Holder Wednesday, Republican congressmen challenged Holder's testimony two weeks ago, where he insisted he knew nothing about "the potential prosecution of the press for the disclosure of material."

Days later, it became clear the Justice Department obtained the emails of Fox News reporter James Rosen.

Meanwhile, prominent liberal legal scholar Jonathan Turley called for Holder to be fired Wednesday in a USA Today column.

Turley wrote that Holder "supervised a comprehensive erosion of privacy rights, press freedom and due process."
