SUMMARY
House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.) announced that Republicans will sue President Biden's Justice Department to obtain recordings of Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur regarding his retention of classified material. This follows a contempt vote against Attorney General Merrick Garland for denying access to the tapes. The GOP aims to enforce the subpoena through legal action. Additionally, Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) seeks a House vote to arrest Garland if the tapes aren't produced. Johnson criticized the DOJ for not prosecuting Garland while aggressively pursuing Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro for similar offenses.
