audiotapes

House Republicans are advancing efforts to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress. The House Rules Committee is currently debating contempt resolutions against Garland, who has refused to turn over audio recordings of President Biden's interviews with the special counsel investigating the president's handling of classified documents.

Republicans are demanding the release of these audiotapes, arguing that transparency is necessary. However, the Justice Department has provided transcripts but declined to release the audiotapes, citing concerns that making interviews public could deter future witness cooperation.
