During testimony delivered today before the House Oversight Committee, ATF Special Agent in Charge William Newell admitted that officials in the Department of Homeland Security (DHS), Department of Justice (DOJ) Immigration & Customs Enforcement (ICE), the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and the Drug Enforcement Agency (DEA) were all aware of the "Fast and Furious" operation.
