As a member of Congress, Tim Walz was one of just 17 Democratic lawmakers who voted to hold then-Obama Attorney General Eric Holder in contempt over refusing to comply with a subpoena related to the Fast and Furious scandal. Walz emphasized the importance of Congress having access to all necessary information to make informed decisions on behalf of the American people.
Walz's decision to vote for holding Holder in contempt was consistent with his past actions, as he had previously voted to hold President Bush's Administration officials in contempt. He believed that there were too many unanswered questions surrounding the Fast and Furious operation, and that transparency was crucial for the American people.
