House Judiciary Committee Chair Jim Jordan (R-OH) scheduled a markup hearing for May 16 to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to provide audio recordings of President Joe Biden's interview with Special Counsel Robert Hur, a source confirmed to Breitbart News.
Garland defied a final warning on April 26 to comply with a subpoena for the audio of Biden’s interview with Hur.
