House Judiciary Sets May 16 Contempt Vote for AG Garland Over Biden-Hur Audio
May 6, 2024, 08:35 PM
The House Judiciary Committee, led by House Republicans, has scheduled a markup for May 16 to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress. This decision follows Garland's refusal to provide audio recordings of an interview between President Joe Biden and former special counsel Robert Hur, as reported by @dcexaminer. In the interview, Hur reportedly concluded that Biden is an 'elderly man' with a 'poor memory.' The proceedings are set to take place next week, as confirmed by multiple sources including NBC News and Forbes.
