House GOP Holds Merrick Garland in Contempt Over Biden Interview Recordings

The contempt vote centers on Garland's refusal to release audio recordings of President Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur.

House Republicans voted largely along party lines to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.
The issue stems from Garland's decision to withhold audio recordings of President Biden's interview regarding classified documents.
Garland provided transcripts of the interview but cited executive privilege for not releasing the audio.
Republicans argue the refusal suggests a cover-up, while Garland calls it a partisan attack.
This marks the third consecutive administration where the House has passed a contempt resolution against an attorney general.
