Two Republican-led House panels on Thursday plan to consider whether to recommend holding the head of the Justice Department in contempt of Congress.
The House Judiciary Committee on Monday outlined a contempt of Congress case against Attorney General Merrick B. Garland in a report, which said the DOJ has not handed over audio and video recordings from a special counsel investigation into President Joe Biden’s handling of classified materials.
The Judiciary Committee and the House Oversight and Accountability Committee issued subpoenas in February to Garland to compel the production of audio recordings of former special counsel Robert K. Hur’s interviews with Biden and a ghostwriter who worked with Biden, according to the report.
