The House Judiciary Committee is scheduled to mark up a resolution on May 16 to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.

The committee’s reason was Mr. Garland’s refusal to turn over audio tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur’s interviews with President Joe Biden over his alleged mishandling of classified information, a source familiar told The Epoch Times on May 6.
