Washington, D.C. — Congressman Paul A. Gosar, D.D.S. (AZ-09), issued the following statement after voting in favor of H. Res. 1292, a resolution recommending that the House of Representatives Find United States Attorney General Merrick B. Garland in Contempt of Congress for Refusal to Comply with a Subpoena Duly Issued by the Committee on the Judiciary.
“By ignoring a lawful subpoena and refusing to turn over Joe Biden’s video recordings of the testimony given to Special Counsel Robert Hur in connection with Biden’s unlawful possession of classified documents, Attorney General Garland is engaging in yet another Biden administration coverup.
Putting Mr. Biden’s senility aside, Congress and the American people have a right to know what he said to Robert Hur and it is inexcusable that Merrick Garland is doing Biden’s bidding.
Merrick Garland is not above the law. His continued refusal to provide the lawfully subpoenaed audio recordings is an affront to Congress’ legal authority and it is a crime. For refusing to cooperate with Congress and for breaking the law, I voted to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in Contempt of Congress,” stated Congressman Gosar.
