The Justice Department has informed House Speaker Mike Johnson in a letter on Friday that it will not prosecute Attorney General Merrick Garland for contempt. This decision follows the House’s vote on Wednesday to hold Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to provide audio of President Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur. The vote was the culmination of months of investigations by House Republicans, who have been seeking to make public as much material from the special counsel interview as possible. The story is still developing, and updates will be provided as they become available. If you have any story ideas, please contact Louis Casiano at louis.casiano@fox.com.
