The U.S. Department of Justice — which is headed by Attorney General Merrick Garland — has decided to not press charges against him after a Republican-led vote in the House of Representatives found him in contempt of Congress.
The U.S. House of Representatives voted 216-207 Wednesday to approve the contempt motion, with one Republican siding with Democrats in the attempt to reject it. The vote was in response to the Justice Department refusing to turn over audiotapes of President Joe Biden's interview with a special prosecutor over his alleged mishandling of classified documents during his time as vice president in the Obama administration.
The investigation into President Biden ended earlier this year without any charges being brought against him, with special counsel Robert Hur issuing a controversial final report that described the 81-year-old president's memory as"poor" and having"significant limitations" that would have made it"difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him.
