Story
House Republicans to Vote Wednesday on Holding AG Garland in Contempt Over Biden Audio
Jun 12, 2024, 12:41 PM
House Republicans are preparing to vote on holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over audio recordings of President Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur. The vote, scheduled for Wednesday, escalates the ongoing conflict between the GOP and the Biden administration. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise confirmed the vote, which follows a resolution advanced by the House Rules Committee. The contempt resolution stems from Garland's non-compliance with subpoenas related to Biden's handling of classified documents. Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan and Speaker Mike Johnson have both expressed support for the resolution. Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have criticized the move as a distraction from the impeachment inquiry into President Biden.
