House Judiciary to vote on contempt resolutions against Biden’s AG for refusing to comply with subpoenas

On February 27, the House Committees on Oversight and Judiciary issued subpoenas to Garland seeking "records, including transcripts, notes, video, and audio files, related to Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation of President Joe Biden’s willful mishandling of classified information."

According to CBS News, the two committed are set to move forward with marking up the resolution to hold Garland in contempt.

Biden on Thursday asserted executive privilege over the audio recording of his interview with Hur, with the White House counsel claiming that GOP lawmakers wanted to "chop them up, distort them, and use them for partisan political purposes."

"This morning, we get an 11th hour invocation of executive privilege," Jordan said Thursday morning, adding that the executive privilege assertion does not change the fact that Garland has not complied with the subpoena.

"President Biden is asserting executive privilege for the same reason we need the audio recordings — they offer a unique perspective."

"Today's Hail Mary from the White House changes nothing for our committee," House Oversight Chairman James Comer said in a statement. "The House Oversight Committee will move forward with its markup of a resolution and report recommending to the House of Representatives that Attorney General Garland be held in contempt of Congress for defying a lawful subpoena."
