The Justice Department criticizes Republicans’ effort to hold Merrick Garland in contempt over his refusal to turn over unredacted materials.
The Justice Department on Monday blasted Republicans' effort to hold Atty. Gen. Merrick Garland in contempt over his refusal to turn over unredacted materials related to the special counsel probe into President Biden’s handling of classified documents. In a letter obtained by the Associated Press, the Justice Department rejected the demand from House Republicans that the agency turn over the full audio of special counsel Robert Hur's hours-long interviews with Biden and his ghostwriter.
” The pushback from the department and the seeming unwillingness to provide the audio could trigger a legal battle between the White House and the GOP chairmen leading the contempt effort on Capitol Hill, potentially setting up a scenario where Biden would have to exert executive privilege to halt the release of the audio recording to Congress. The maneuvering could also delay the release of any audio until after the November election.
