CNN’s Jake Tapper told Democratic Rep. Dan Goldman of New York on Wednesday that there is no legitimate reason for the Department of Justice (DOJ) to withhold the audio of President Joe Biden’s interviews with special counsel Robert Hur.
Republican lawmakers have demanded the audio recordings of the interviews, but the DOJ has only turned over the transcript, with the House on Wednesday voting to hold Merrick Garland in contempt as a result of the refusal. Tapper on “The Lead with Jake Tapper” asserted there’s “really no basis” for the DOJ not to turn them over to Congress, but Goldman said it would have a “very chilling impact” to do so.
