A vote to hold Garland in contempt forces an uncomfortable choice for many vulnerable Republicans, especially those who are seeking reelection.
House Republicans are set to consider the resolution, which wouldfor criminal prosecution to the U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, in the Rules Committee on Tuesday, nearly a month after it advanced to the House floor. A vote by the full House would then be held as soon as Wednesday.
The DOJ has already published the full written transcripts of those interviews, arguing they are sufficient for Republicans’ impeachment inquiry into Biden. The White House has also cited executive privilege.arguing the refusal Biden faced a federal investigation over his handling of classified documents, but Hur decided not to charge him, arguing in part that a jury would find Biden to be a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”
The contempt resolution comes days after Garland appeared for a contentious hearing in which House Republicans accused his agency of orchestrating politically motivated investigations against Trump to hurt his election chances in November.
