President Obama brushed off calls for a special independent
investigator into the IRS scandal that has engulfed his administration
during a press conference this afternoon, saying the internal audit and
criminal investigation headed by Attorney General Eric Holder are
“sufficient.”
“Between those investigations I think we’re going to be able to figure out exactly what happened,” said Obama. “I think we’re going to be able to fix it.”
The press conference comes after Obama scrambled last night to fend off growing concerns about his administration following the news that the IRS targeted conservative groups. He also has been battling other controversies, including questions about the deadly attacks in Benghazi and the Department of Justice secretly obtaining Associated Press phone records.
