House GOP to press Garland on 'abuses' before Judiciary Committee

Attorney General Merrick Garland is set to testify before Congress as a growing number of Republicans have vowed to hit back against the Biden administration after former President Donald Trump’s criminal conviction in a hush money case.

Garland will appear before the House Judiciary Committee on Tuesday as the top Justice Department official faces backlash for his refusal to provide access to audio recordings of President Joe Biden’s interview with former special counsel Robert Hur. The committee subpoenaed Garland for those tapes in February as part of an investigation into Biden’s handling of classified documents.
