The House Judiciary Committee voted to move forward with an effort to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.

The House Judiciary Committee voted to move forward with an effort to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress hours after the White House blocked access to an audio recording of President Joe Biden’s interview with the special counsel who oversaw an investigation into his handling of classified documents.

The House panel voted Thursday afternoon to advance the contempt maneuver. A similar vote is scheduled for later Thursday with the House oversight committee.

THIS IS A BREAKING NEWS UPDATE.

    This is about that special counsel investigation, where no charges were filed against Biden but the guy said some things about Biden’s memory. The Justice Department already released the full transcript of the interviews with Biden, but the committee has asked for the audio too, and Garland has declined to sent it over.
