In February, Hur's yearlong investigation into whether President Biden mishandled classified documents ended without enough evidence to support criminal charges.

House Republicans were provided a transcript of Biden's interview with Hur, but they wanted the audio, which the DOJ denied.

As a result, House Republicans were moving to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.

On May 16, the Department of Justice told House Republicans that the president asserted executive privilege over audio from his interview with the special counsel.

The move protects Garland from criminal exposure as GOP lawmakers seek to hold him accountable.

Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte explained the DOJ's actions in a letter.

The Attorney General must draw a line that safeguards the Department from improper political influence and protects our principles, our law enforcement work, and the people who carry out that work independently, without fear or favor, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .

The Committees seek to hold the Attorney General in contempt not for failing in his duties, but for upholding them, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .

With the information you now have, the Committees ought not to proceed with contempt and should instead avoid unnecessary and unwarranted conflict, Assistant Attorney General Carlos Uriarte, via letter .

White House Counsel Ed Siskel also wrote a letter supporting the assertion of executive privilege.

.

The absence of a legitimate need for the audio recordings lays bare your likely goalā€”to chop them up, distort them, and use them for partisan political purposes, White House Counsel Ed Siskel, via letter

Biden Attacks Trump Supporters, Claims They're the Kind of People ā€˜You'd Like to Smack in the Assā€™

During a recent campaign event in Scranton, Pennsylvania, President Joe Biden launched a sharp attack on supporters of Republican nominee Donald Trump, characterising them as the kind of individuals "you'd like to smack in the ass." His remarks came as he criticised Trumpā€™s proposed tax cuts for high earners, framing them as harmful to working-class Americans. Biden's comments aimed to highlight what he perceives as the detrimental effects of Trumpā€™s policies, which he argues primarily benefit the wealthy. This outburst, reflecting Biden's escalating rhetoric against Trump and his supporters, underscores the growing tensions as the November 5 election approaches. The President's comments sparked discussions about the deepening divide in American politics, with both candidates intensifying their messaging in the lead-up to the election. #BidenVsTrump #TrumpSupporters #Election2024 #PoliticalRhetoric #ScrantonSpeech #TaxCuts #WorkingClass #DivisivePolitics #Biden2024 #CampaignTrail #AmericanPolitics #VoterResponse #Unity #Democrats #Republicans
