The House Rules Committee is set to vote Tuesday at noon on the markup on whether or not Attorney General Merrick Garland will be held in contempt of Congress.
Garland is being considered to be held in contempt due to withholding audio recordings of special counsel Robert Hur’s interview with President Joe Biden over classified documents. A transcript of the interview has been released. In the document, Hur described Biden as a “well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory.”

Two House committees, the Oversight and Judiciary committees, previously voted along party lines to advance a report recommending that he be held in contempt.
If passed in the House Rules Committee, the committee will throw the matter to the entire House for a vote on whether Garland will be held in contempt. It is unclear if the House in its entirety would have enough votes, given its very thin, Republican majority.
