Story
House Judiciary Committee, Led by Jim Jordan, Votes 18-15 to Hold AG Garland in Contempt Over Biden Interview Tapes
May 16, 2024, 06:52 PM
The House Judiciary Committee, led by Jim Jordan, has voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for failing to comply with a subpoena. The subpoena requested audio tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interview with President Joe Biden regarding the classified documents case. The committee's vote was 18-15. The resolution, passed on Thursday, must now be approved by the full House for Garland to be officially held in contempt. President Biden has asserted privilege over the recordings, which contributed to Garland's refusal to provide them.
