House Republicans are set to vote on holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to provide audio recordings of President Joe Biden's interviews with former special counsel Robert Hur. The dispute arose after Biden asserted executive privilege over the files, escalating tensions between the legislative and executive branches.
The vote signifies a deepening conflict over the recordings, with Republicans alleging that the Justice Department is biased against conservatives. The recordings are sought for an impeachment inquiry into Biden, although the likelihood of impeachment seems slim.
