House Republicans ramp up efforts to enforce Garland subpoena after contempt vote

Washington — House Republicans are ramping up their efforts to enforce a subpoena against Attorney General Merrick Garland, with multiple avenues in play after the Justice Department said it would not bring charges against Garland following a House vote to hold him in contempt of Congress.
"We're going to be as aggressive as we can and use every tool in our arsenal," House Speaker Mike Johnson said of the effort to enforce the subpoena at a news conference on Wednesday.
GOP lawmakers are seeking audio recordings of President Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur concerning the president's handling of classified documents, which came as part of an investigation that wrapped earlier this year. The House Judiciary and Oversight committees demanded that the Justice Department provide the tapes as part of their impeachment inquiry into the president. But the president asserted executive privilege over the recordings in May.
