‘Fast and Furious’ Suit Settlement Talks Stall, Lawyer Says

Settlement talks have stalled in a lawsuit to enforce congressional subpoenas probing the U.S. Justice Department’s “Operation Fast and Furious” program, said an attorney for a U.S. House of Representatives committee.
The lawsuit against U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder Jr. was brought by the House’s Oversight and Government Reform Committee and grew out of the panel’s inquiry into so-called gun walking, the practice of allowing illegal gun purchases in the U.S. in a bid to track the flow of weapons to Mexican drug cartels.
