Holder says contempt citation unwarranted Jun 21st 2012, 10:54 COPENHAGEN | Thu Jun 21, 2012 6:48am EDT COPENHAGEN (Reuters) - Attorney General Eric Holder on Thursday dismissed as unwarranted a vote by a congressional committee to charge him with contempt of Congress after the Obama administration withheld documents related to a failed gun-running investigation. "The action that the committee took yesterday was unwarranted, unnecessary and unprecedented," he said after meeting European Union officials in the Danish capital.
