Justice Department Declines to Prosecute Attorney General Garland for Contempt of Congress Over Audio Refusal
Jun 14, 2024, 07:00 PM
The U.S. Justice Department announced on Friday that it will not pursue criminal contempt of Congress charges against Attorney General Merrick Garland. The decision follows a referral by House Republicans, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, who sought to hold Garland in contempt for his refusal to provide audio recordings of President Joe Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur regarding Biden's classified documents case. The Justice Department stated that Garland's actions did not constitute a crime, thus declining to prosecute him.
