House votes to hold Garland in contempt, refer him for criminal charges at own DOJ
Fox News
House Republicans have aimed to hold Garland in contempt of Congress for his refusal to turn over audio tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur's interview with President Biden.
Joyce said in a statement after the vote, "As a former prosecutor, I cannot in good conscience support a resolution that would further politicize our judicial system to score political points. The American people expect Congress to work for them, solve policy problems, and prioritize good governance. Enough is enough."

Hur’s findings cleared Biden of wrongdoing in his handling of classified documents, but also said the 81-year-old president presented himself "as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory," and that "it would be difficult to convince a jury that they should convict him-by then a former president well into his eighties-of a serious felony that requires a mental state of willfulness."
