House Speaker Mike Johnson announced plans to take legal action in federal court to enforce a subpoena against Attorney General Merrick Garland for the release of audio recordings of President Joe Biden. This decision comes after the Justice Department declined to act on the House's contempt referral.
Johnson expressed his disagreement with the DOJ's stance, criticizing it as reflective of a 'two-tiered system of justice' under the Biden Administration. He stated that he would be certifying the contempt reports to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia and pursuing enforcement of the subpoena in federal court.
