Holder Wants to Pursue Banking Executives

Outgoing Attorney General Eric Holder wants executives at Wall Street banks to face criminal charges, Bloomberg's Keri Geiger reports. Holder has asked U.S. attorneys involved in residential mortgage-backed securities cases to report in 90 days whether they can develop cases against individual bankers. The decision on whether action will be appropriate will be up to Loretta Lynch, the nominee to replace Holder, he said in a speech Tuesday.
