updates: The US Department of Justice has announced that Attorney General Merrick Garland will not face criminal charges for defying a congressional subpoena for audiotapes of President Joe Biden's interviews with a special counsel. The decision comes after prosecutors determined that Garland is protected by executive privilege asserted by Biden last month. The Justice Department cited its policy of not prosecuting officials who do not comply with subpoenas due to a president's claim of executive privilege. The case is now closed, disappointing Garland who criticized the vote as turning a serious congressional authority into a partisan weapon. Garland is the third attorney general to be held in contempt of Congress. The audiotapes were sought by the Republican-led House Judiciary and Oversight Committees as part of an investigation into the presence of classified information at Biden's home and academic office. The Justice Department refused to release the tapes, prompting a separate lawsuit by the Heritage Foundation and several media organizations seeking access to the audiotapes. The decision by the Justice Department means that Garland will not face criminal charges. President Joe Biden has also expressed support for Garland, stating that he believes Garland acted in good faith.
