Republican Lawmakers Push to Hold AG Garland in Contempt Over Hur-Biden Audiotapes
Jun 28, 2024, 05:19 AM
Republican members of Congress are intensifying their efforts to obtain the Hur-Biden audiotapes purportedly involving President Biden. Representative McCormick has called for Attorney General Merrick Garland to hand over the tapes, threatening contempt charges if he does not comply. Representative Dan Crenshaw highlighted that Garland was held in contempt 12 days ago for failing to provide Biden's interview audio, and criticized the Department of Justice for not prosecuting Garland. Representatives Anna Paulina Luna and others emphasized the urgency of hearing the tapes, arguing that the safety of the country depends on it. They plan to hold Garland in inherent contempt and force the release of the tapes, asserting that every member of Congress has a constitutional duty to ensure the President's coherence. They also noted that a lawsuit could take years and that Garland has ignored subpoenas.
