The Justice Department has announced it will not prosecute Attorney General Merrick Garland for contempt of Congress.
This decision comes after Garland refused to turn over audio recordings of President Joe Biden’s interview related to his classified documents case. House Republicans had voted to hold Garland in contempt, but the Justice Department stated that his actions did not constitute a crime.
Consequently, no further action to prosecute the Attorney General will be taken, including bringing the congressional contempt citation before a grand jury.
