Speaker Johnson to Enforce Subpoena Against AG Garland in Court Over Biden Interview Audio

Jun 15, 2024, 12:19 AM

House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that the GOP-led House will go to court to enforce a subpoena against Attorney General Merrick Garland. This action follows the Department of Justice's refusal to prosecute and respond to the House's contempt referral. The House seeks to compel Garland to turn over audio of President Joe Biden's special counsel interview. Johnson stated that he will be certifying the contempt reports to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and disagrees with the assertions in the letter from the Department of Justice.
