  FILE - In this Feb. 9, 2012 file photo, Attorney General Eric holder listens at right as President Barack Obama speaks about a mortgage settlement in the Eisenhower Executive Office building on the White House complex in Washington. Wednesday, President Obama refused to turn over some Justice Department documents about a botched anti-smuggling operation that allowed hundreds of guns sold in Arizona to end up in Mexico.
