Attorney General Merrick Garland expressed his disappointment after the House of Representatives voted to hold him in contempt of Congress for refusing to provide audio recordings of President Joe Biden's interviews with former special counsel Robert Hur. The interviews were related to Biden's handling of classified material, and Hur ultimately decided not to bring charges.
In a statement, Garland stated that the House's decision to hold him in contempt was a misuse of congressional authority and a partisan move. He emphasized that the Justice Department has a responsibility to protect its investigations and highlighted the substantial amount of information that had already been provided to the Committees.
