House GOP to Vote on Contempt for AG Garland Over Biden Audio, May 16

May 13, 2024, 07:29 PM

House Republicans are moving to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for not providing an audio recording of President Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert K. Hur, impeding the Biden impeachment probe. The GOP-led House Oversight Committee, chaired by James Comer, is set to vote on a resolution for this contempt charge. Garland now faces two contempt charges as he failed to comply with congressional subpoenas demanding the audio files, which described Biden as 'elderly' with a 'poor memory', although a transcript was provided. The vote is scheduled for Thursday, May 16, 2024, at 11:00 am ET.
