The Department of Justice provided Congress with a redacted transcript of Hur’s interview, and the transcript confirmed the president suffered memory lapses at times, while at other times, he was sharp and displayed an ability to recall information without issue. If the House votes to hold Garland in contempt, it would mark the fourth time in U.S. history that a Cabinet member has received such a condemnation. The House voted to hold two former attorneys general, Eric Holder and Bill Barr, in contempt in 2012 and 2019, respectively. Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross was held in contempt alongside Barr.
