Garland is held in contempt of Congress for refusing to provide interview tapes with President Biden that were recorded during the Justice Department's classified document probe. . Following the contempt vote, Garland said House Republicans have "turned a serious congressional authority into a partisan weapon.".

Garland is now the third U.S. attorney general in American history to be held in contempt of Congress, BBC reports. .
