NEW ORLEANS - Attorney General Eric Holder said Tuesday that federal authorities have opened criminal and civil investigations into the Deepwater Horizon explosion and oil spill.
Holder would not specify which companies or individuals might be the targets of the probe, saying he did not "want to cast aspersions" while investigators come to their conclusions.
He said federal clean air and pollution laws give him the power to open the investigations, which he added had been going on for "some weeks."
