Sen. McCain Says Special Counsel May Be Needed To Investigate IRS Scandal

Sen. John McCain on Monday said a special counsel may be needed in examining the IRS scandal, but noted that it's still too soon to make that call.
"It certainly, when you look at the people that were targeted, it might have been something different than accidental, but I think we ought to have hearings and I think that there may be an argument for a special counsel here," McCain (R-Ariz.) said on NBC's "Today" show. "But let's, I think, wait and see."
