The Department of Justice (DOJ) is facing a potential contempt of Congress charge as it refuses to hand over audio recordings of President Joe Biden's interview with former special counsel Robert Hur by today's deadline. Attorney General Merrick Garland has been given a deadline to produce these recordings, with House Republicans, particularly those pushing for impeachment, threatening to hold him in contempt if the recordings are not provided. The DOJ has declined to turn over the audio, citing concerns over the cumulative nature of the information requested, which they argue has already been provided in other forms. Instead, the DOJ has offered transcripts of Hur's interviews with Biden, but this has not satisfied the demands of House Republicans, led by House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer. The situation escalates tensions between the DOJ and House Republicans, who accuse the DOJ of protecting Democratic interests by withholding the recordings.
