Johnson says House will go to court for Biden recordings after DOJ says it won't prosecute AG Garland

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

House Speaker Mike Johnson said Friday he will move in federal court to enforce a subpoena against Attorney General Merrick Garland to obtain audio recordings of President Joe Biden, after the Justice Department declined to act on the House’s contempt referral.

Johnson said in a statement that he disagrees with the DOJ’s decision, calling it “another example of the two-tiered system of justice brought to us by the Biden Administration.”

“I will be certifying the contempt reports to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia,” the Louisiana Republican said. “We will also move to enforce the subpoena of Attorney General Garland in federal court.”

In a letter to Johnson earlier Friday, DOJ pointed to its “longstanding” position of not prosecuting executive branch officials who withhold information subject to executive privilege from Congress.
