CBSN
Washington — House Republicans filed a lawsuit against Attorney General Merrick Garland on Monday as they seek audio recordings of President Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur as part of their impeachment inquiry.
The House Judiciary Committee's lawsuit in the U.S. District Court in Washington is the latest escalation in the fight over the audiotapes of Hur's interview with the president and the ghostwriter of his book, Mark Zwonitzer. Hur interviewed both men as investigated Mr. Biden's handling of classified documents.
The committee says it needs the audiotapes "because they offer unique and invaluable insight about information that cannot be captured in a transcript, such as vocal tone, pace, inflections, verbal nuance, and other idiosyncrasies," according to the lawsuit. Lawmakers asked the court to order the Justice Department to hand over the material.
