Mr. Garland also refused to turn over to Congress the audio recording of Mr. Hur’s interview with Mark Zwonitzer, the ghostwriter for Mr. Biden’s 2017 memoir, “Promise Me, Dad.” Mr. Biden shared classified information with Mr. Zwonitzer, according to Mr. Hur’s report, and Mr. Zwonitzer deleted some of his audio recordings of his interviews with Mr. Biden when he learned of Mr. Hur’s appointment in the case.
In the draft report, lawmakers made the case for holding Mr. Garland in contempt, arguing his refusal to share the Biden and Zwonitzer recordings and other documents is hindering the House Republican impeachment inquiry into the president.Lawmakers said the audio recordings would provide evidence not found in the transcript, including “important verbal context, such as tone or tenor, or nonverbal context, such as pauses or pace of delivery.
