YouTube Description
as posted by the channelHouse Republicans voted on Wednesday to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress in a dramatic escalation of the GOP’s broader war against the Biden administration's Department of Justice.
The lower chamber voted along party lines 216-207 to hold Garland in contempt as retaliation against the DOJ for withholding the audio recording of President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur over his mishandling of classified documents. Garland is now the third attorney general in U.S. history to be held in contempt.
The contempt resolution includes a referral to the U.S. attorney of the District of Columbia for criminal prosecution, but that will almost certainly not happen. Instead, GOP investigators are expected to enter a drawn out legal fight with the DOJ in a bid to obtain the recordings.
