Details
The Republican majority in the U.S. House of Representatives has voted to bring U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland to trial. He is guilty of “contempt of Congress” by refusing to release the recording of US President Joe Biden's interrogation by Special Counsel Robert H. Gur on the “document case.

The special counsel interviewed Biden in October to investigate the discovery of classified government documents in his private offices. The conversation served as the basis for an investigation report that ultimately found no criminal charges against Biden, but described the US president as a “friendly elderly man with a poor memory,” raising questions about Biden's fitness for the presidency.
On the recommendation of Attorney General Garland, Biden refused to turn over the audio recordings of the Congressional interrogation. Mr. Garland cited the need to ensure the cooperation of senior executive branch officials in future similar investigations as his reasoning for refusing to provide the audio recordings.
However, it is important to note that the written transcript of Biden's interrogation, unlike the audio recording, was handed over to the House of Representatives and made public.
