"Attorney General Loretta Lynch is declining to comply with an investigation by leading members of Congress about the Obama administration’s secret efforts to send Iran $1.7 billion in cash earlier this year, prompting accusations that Lynch has “pleaded the Fifth” Amendment to avoid incriminating herself over these payments, according to lawmakers and communications exclusively obtained by the Washington Free Beacon."

Is this unprecedented? Has a U.S. Attorney General ever plead the fifth to Congress before?

How many govt types have taken the fifth in the past few years? I think its astonishing.
