President Joe Biden asserted executive privilege in order to deny access to Republicans, who want to get their hands on the recordings of an interview with the President's special counsel, which was investigating how he handled government documents. According to Biden, the move of the Republicans was merely a political stunt.
Biden's assertion of the executive privilege will be shielding Attorney General Merrick Garland from prosecution in the event that House Republicans succeed in citing him for contempt for his refusal to submit the recording of Biden's interview with Robert Hur, pursuant to a subpoena by the House committees.
