Attorney General Merrick Garland fended off Republican demands for the DOJ to hand over a recording of President Biden's interview with Robert Hur.
Republican lawmakers hammered Attorney General Merrick Garland over his ongoing refusal to release audio from President Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur on Tuesday. The House Judiciary Committee summoned Garland to Tuesday's hearing to discuss both the audio tape and former President Trump's felony conviction last week.
Garland went on to say that lawmakers are seeking the audio for 'no legitimate purpose,' and he argued the attempt is part of 'a long line of attacks on the Justice Department’s work.' Rep. Dan Bishop, R-N.C., argued the tape is critical to understanding Biden's 'demeanor' during his five-hour interview with Hur.
Other GOP lawmakers questioned Garland regarding Trump's conviction in New York. Garland repeatedly stated that the DOJ has no control over the Manhattan District Attorney's Office, which brought the charges against Trump.
