House Republicans are preparing to sue the Department of Justice for access to audio recordings of interviews between special counsel Robert Hur and President Joe Biden, the latest escalation in a fight with Attorney General Merrick Garland.
The House Judiciary Committee is set to file suit sometime next week with the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia as part of efforts to force Garland to comply with a subpoena over access to the tapes, House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) said on Wednesday. The move comes after the Justice Department declined to press charges against Garland despite the House voting to hold him in contempt for rejecting the subpoena.
