House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) issued a new joint letter on Monday threatening to hold U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt if the Department of Justice (DOJ) did not turn over investigative materials stemming from the Special Counsel investigation into President Joe Biden’s handling of classified documents.
Mr. Jordan and Mr. Comer initially reached out to the DOJ on Feb. 12, requesting the department voluntarily turn over specific documents from Special Counsel Robert Hur’s investigation into whether President Biden mishandled classified records throughout his political career.
