The House voted Wednesday to hold Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to turn over audio of <a href="https://www.foxnews.com/category/person/joe-biden" target="_blank" rel="noopener">President Biden</a>'s interview with special counsel Robert Hur.

The vote came after months of digging by House Republicans to try to bring into public view as much material from the special counsel interview as possible.
