“White House press secretary Jay Carney did not shed any light Monday on the allegations uncovered by CBS News that ATF intentionally let thousands of assault rifles and other weapons fall into the hands of Mexico’s drug cartels. Insiders call the controversial practice letting guns ‘walk’,” Sharyl Attkisson of CBS News reports.

When questioned by chief White House correspondent Chip Reid if President Obama was “aware of the specific allegations,” Carney replied “I don’t know.”

This story now officially reaches all the way up to the White House.
