The House Judiciary Committee voted to move forward with holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress on Thursday, one of two committees taking up the issue as part of a larger House Republican effort to build an impeachment case against President Joe Biden. 

Judiciary Committee members voted 18 to 15 to advance the contempt resolution against Garland for refusing to hand over audio recordings from special counsel Robert Hur’s interview with Biden related to his classified documents case.
