Republicans want Merrick Garland to hand over Joe Biden to hand over audio recordings of Joe talking to Robert Hur. CBS News reported on it:
"We're going to be as aggressive as we can and use every tool in our arsenal," House Speaker Mike Johnson said of the effort to enforce the subpoena at a news conference on Wednesday.
GOP lawmakers are seeking audio recordings of President Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur concerning the president's handling of classified documents, which came as part of an investigation that wrapped earlier this year. The House Judiciary and Oversight committees demanded that the Justice Department provide the tapes as part of their impeachment inquiry into the president. But the president asserted executive privilege over the recordings in May.
One of those avenues may be a push to hold Garland in "inherent contempt," a tool rarely used in modern times that's being pushed by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna and could result in Garland being taken into custody.
The Florida Republican has been teasing an inherent contempt resolution in recent days. And at a news conference on Wednesday, she said she plans to force a vote by calling up a privileged motion on Friday morning, unless Garland complies with the subpoena.
"We are asking that he bring the tapes to the House and let us listen to them," she said.
