During an appearance before the House Judiciary Committee today, Department of Justice (DOJ) Attorney General Eric Holder said that he's "95 to 99 percent" certain the Deputy Attorney General was the person who authorized a subpoena of AP phone records.

When asked if Deputy Attorney General James Cole issued the subpoena, Holder said he "had to assume he did."
