On Could 16, two Home committees voted to subpoena AG Merrick Garland for the audio recordings of Particular Counsel Hur’s interview with Joe Biden.

Mr. Hur cleared Joe Biden of felony wrongdoing within the categorized paperwork case and cited his reminiscence as an excuse for the dealing with of the delicate paperwork, characterizing the pinnacle of the Biden crime household as an “aged man with a poor reminiscence.”
In a letter to Joe Biden, AG Garland argued that Mr Hur’s interviews with Joe Biden and his ghostwriter “fall inside the scope of government privilege,” as he claimed government privilege.
In keeping with The Hill– Republicans have fumed over Garland’s resolution to not flip over the audio of Biden’s interview after the DOJ shared the transcript with the Home Oversight and Judiciary committees.

Jerry Nadler (D-NY), who lied to the committee about one other case to justify retaining the recordings of the interview between Mr. Hur and Joe Biden hidden from the general public.
