Attorney General Merrick Garland is facing criticism for refusing to comply with a Congressional subpoena to release audio tapes of President Joe Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur, related to a classified documents probe. Garland argues that releasing the tapes would harm sensitive investigations. The Heritage Foundation has filed an emergency motion in Washington court to expedite the release of the tapes, asserting that the Biden administration's invocation of executive privilege is politically motivated. Critics, including legal experts and Republican lawmakers, argue that the refusal to release the tapes is an attempt to hide Biden's potential mental acuity issues and to avoid political embarrassment. House Republicans have expressed interest in the tapes to verify Hur’s assertions. The controversy has also led to calls for holding Garland in contempt of Congress and has implications for ongoing FOIA cases.
