Attorney General Merrick Garland appears before a House Judiciary Committee hearing, Wednesday, Sept. 20, 2023, on Capitol Hill in Washington. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer threatened Attorney General Merrick Garland with contempt of Congress Monday over materials that haven’t been turned over from special counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into President Biden.
Mr. Comer, Kentucky Republican, and Mr. Jordan, Ohio Republican, specifically said they are still waiting for the audio recordings from Mr. Hur’s interview with the president, and the audio and transcript from the special counsel’s interview with Mr. Zwonitzer. The transcript of Mr. Biden’s interview was released earlier this month.
Mr. Jordan subpoenaed Mr. Zwonitzer Friday to get any transcripts and recordings of his interviews with the president, to prove that classified material was shared between the two of them. The materials included classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan and notebooks containing Mr. Biden’s handwritten entries about national security and foreign policy issues.
