The House Judiciary Committee has taken legal action against Attorney General Merrick Garland in an effort to obtain audio recordings of former special counsel Robert Hur's interviews with President Joe Biden and his ghostwriter. The committee, led by Republicans, filed a lawsuit in the DC district court challenging Biden's claim of executive privilege over the recordings and demanding their release to Congress.
The recordings in question are crucial to Hur's decision not to pursue criminal charges against Biden for mishandling classified records. They include assessments such as Biden being perceived sympathetically by a jury due to being an elderly man with a poor memory.
