The House Judiciary Committee filed a lawsuit Monday against Attorney General Merrick B. Garland over the Justice Department’s refusal to release audio of a special counsel interview with President Joe Biden.
The lawsuit from the Republican-controlled panel asks a federal court in Washington to issue an injunction ordering Garland to provide the audio recording of former special counsel Robert K. Hur’s interview with the president.
A transcript of Hur’s interview with Biden has been released but the president earlier this year invoked executive privilege over the audio.
