On June 4, 2024, the House Judiciary Committee of the United States held a hearing on 'Supervising the Department of Justice,' where Attorney General Garland was present. The House of Representatives passed a resolution on June 12, finding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt for refusing to hand over the interview recordings by the special prosecutor of the Department of Justice regarding President Biden's mishandling of classified documents. This makes Garland the third Attorney General in U.S. history to be found in contempt by the House of Representatives. The process of being found in contempt by Congress involves various steps including committee resolutions and full House votes, with possible legal consequences ranging from fines to prison time. Previous instances of such contempt include Attorney General Bill Barr and Attorney General Eric Holder.
