Brief Executive Summary
The House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Senate Committee on the Judiciary investigated a weaponry trafficking scandal known as Fast and Furious. This report chronicles the fundamentally flawed firearms trafficking case from the perspective of the United States Attorney’s Office and the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms, and Explosives. The committee found that the investigation was obstructed by the Justice Department and the Attorney General. This is the first report in a series of three.
