Leader Cantor Statement On House Decision To Refer Lois Lerner For DOJ Criminal
Prosecution
WASHINGTON, D.C. – House Majority Leader
Eric Cantor (R-VA) released the following statement after the House
Ways and Means Committee referred Lois Lerner to the Department of
Justice for criminal prosecution:
“House investigations have uncovered evidence indicating
that IRS official Lois Lerner targeted conservative groups because of
their political beliefs, a violation of the law. In 97 pages of detail,
the House Ways & Means Committee provides evidence of Lois Lerner’s
political bias and prejudice. The evidence made public today shows that
Lois Lerner directed IRS agents to deny applications and to audit
conservatives. The IRS and Lois Lerner must be held accountable for
their actions and I expect Attorney General Holder to take the
appropriate steps regarding this criminal referral without further
political bias.
