House impeachment investigators have threatened to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress unless he hands over the recordings of special counsel Robert Hur’s interviews with President Joe Biden and his ghostwriter.

The attorney general has thus far failed to provide the recordings in defiance of two subpoenas issued by Reps. Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) and James Comer (R-Ky.), chairmen of the House Judiciary and Oversight and Accountability committees.
