The political fallout from the resignation of Central Intelligence Agency director David Petraeus has reached Capitol Hill, where scrutiny of Attorney General Eric Holder Jr.’s actions will prompt discussion about when he should share investigative information about high-level administration officials, former DOJ and White House officials say.
Members of congressional intelligence committees returned to a lame-duck session this week concerned about how little they knew about the months-long investigation that ultimately revealed Petraeus’ affair with his biographer, Paula Broadwell. The investigation will likely come up during two closed-door hearings today with the House and Senate intelligence committees, where Petraeus had been scheduled to testify, before he resigned, about the terror attacks in Benghazi.
