Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) clashed on May 16 during the House Oversight Committee hearing to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to hand over audio tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s two-day interview with President Joe Biden over his alleged mishandling of classified information.
The verbal altercation grew out of a question asked by Ms. Greene. She wanted to know whether New York Supreme Court Justice Juan Merchan, who is presiding over the criminal trial of former President Donald Trump in New York, has worked for any members of the committee.
