Republican-Controlled House Votes 208-207 to Hold AG Merrick Garland in Contempt of Congress
Jun 12, 2024, 05:25 PM
The Republican-controlled U.S. House of Representatives has voted 208-207 on Wednesday to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress. The vote follows Garland's refusal to turn over audio recordings of an interview between President Joe Biden and Special Counsel Robert Hur related to Biden's handling of classified documents. The resolution was advanced by House Republicans, who have accused Garland of defying subpoenas and obstructing their investigation. This marks Garland as the third attorney general in U.S. history to be held in contempt of Congress. Speaker Johnson stated, 'We can’t allow the Department of Justice and Executive Branch hide information from Congress.'
