House Republicans are escalating tensions with Attorney General Merrick Garland, threatening to hold him in contempt of Congress due to the Justice Department's failure to produce subpoenaed audio recordings of former Special Counsel Robert Hur's interview with President Biden. The House Oversight Committee Chairman and House Judiciary Committee Chairman penned a letter to Garland, emphasizing the legal obligation to provide the requested materials.
The committees demanded the audio recordings of Hur's interviews with President Biden and Mr. Zwonitzer, setting a deadline of April 8, 2024, for compliance. Failure to meet this deadline could result in further actions, including contempt of Congress proceedings.
