House Republicans made a significant move on Wednesday by voting to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress. The vote came after Garland refused to turn over the audio recordings of President Joe Biden's interviews with former special counsel Robert Hur. Hur had investigated Biden's handling of classified material but ultimately decided not to bring charges.
The vote count was 216 to 207, with only one Republican, Rep. Dave Joyce of Ohio, voting against the motion. Following the vote, House Speaker Mike Johnson announced that he would certify the report to the United States attorney for the District of Columbia.
