House Republicans threatened to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress if he did not turn over unredacted materials related to the special counsel probe into President Joe Biden's handling of classified documents.
There are major differences between the two probes. Biden's team returned the documents after they were discovered, and the president cooperated with the investigation by voluntarily sitting for an interview and consenting to searches of his homes. Trump, by contrast, is accused of enlisting the help of aides and lawyers to conceal the documents from the government and seeking to have potentially incriminating evidence destroyed.
House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan and Oversight and Accountability Committee Chairman James Comer threatened Attorney General Merrick Garland with contempt of Congress on Monday over materials that haven't been turned over from special counsel Robert Hur's investigation into President Biden.
