White House Blocks Release Of Biden’s Special Counsel Interview, Says Gop Is Being Political

WASHINGTON — President Joe Biden has asserted executive privilege over audio of his interview with special counsel Robert Hur that’s at the center a Republican effort to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress, the Justice Department told lawmakers on Thursday. [time-brightcove not-tgx=”true”] It comes as the the House Oversight and Accountability Committee and the Judiciary Committee are each expected to hold a hearing to recommend that the full House refer Garland to the Justice Department for the contempt charges over the department’s refusal to hand over the audio. Garland advised Biden in a letter on Thursday that the audio falls within the scope of executive privilege.
