The resolution was passed by a 216-207 vote.
Only one Republican,

would further politicize our judicial
system to score political points, Rep. David Joyce, via statement.

for refusing to provide interview tapes with President Biden that were recorded during the Justice Department's classified document probe. .
Following the contempt vote, Garland said
House Republicans have "turned a serious congressional authority into a partisan weapon.".

constitutional separation of powers,
the Justice Department’s need to
protect its investigations, and the

have provided to the Committees. , Merrick Garland, via statement.
