The House is expected to vote Wednesday on a resolution to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, told NPR that he expected the House to approve the contempt resolutions and said he hasn't heard any reservations about them from fellow Republicans. Garland sought to cast the contempt proceedings as part of a series of attacks against the Justice Department and its career employees by partisans intent on making political points.
"This isn't really about a policy disagreement with the DOJ. This is about feeding the MAGA base after 18 months of investigation that have produced failure after failure," Nadler said. The tapes also would help make their case that Biden, 81, is losing his faculties, a pillar of the Republican case against Biden in the 2024 presidential election.
