Justice Department Won't Prosecute Garland For Contempt

1 week ago The Justice Department says Attorney General Merrick Garland will not be prosecuted for contempt of Congress after refusing to turn over audio of President Joe Biden’s interview in his classified documents case because his actions “did not constitute a crime.” A Justice Department official said that in a letter to Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson on Friday. The House voted Wednesday to hold Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over the audio of Biden's interview with a special counsel. The Democratic White House has accused Republicans of wanting the audio recordings only so they can chop them up and use them for political purposes.
