White House Press Secretary Declines To Comment On DOJ Obtaining AP Phone Records

White House Press Secretary Declines To Comment On DOJ Obtaining AP Phone Records

White House press secretary Jay Carney on Monday had no comment when asked about an Associated Press report revealing that the Department of Justice secretly obtained two months of telephone records from reporters and editors employed at the international news agency in April and May of 2012.

In New York City for a fundraiser headlining President Barack Obama, Carney referred reporters' questions to the Department of Justice, according to a pool report.

Coincidentally, Attorney General Eric Holder is scheduled to testify at a routine Department of Justice oversight hearing on Capitol Hill this Wednesday.
