About this sermon
Republicans in the House are ratcheting up pressure on the Justice Department to hand over audio tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur's interview with President Joe Biden. The president claims the tapes fall under executive privilege and are off limits. House Republicans are using an obscure procedure called inherent contempt against Attorney General Merrick Garland. Inherent contempt gives Congress the authority to impose a penalty on a subpoenaed witness who fails to cooperate. House Speaker Mike Johnson says by not releasing the audio tapes it's another attempt by the DOJ to protect the president which could show his mental decline. Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna plans to bring an inherent contempt resolution that would fine Garland $10,000 each day the DOJ fails to turn over the audiotapes. Speaker Johnson says he'd vote for the resolution, despite having constitutional concerns about it.
