House Speaker Mike Johnson said the House Judiciary Committee is planning on filing a lawsuit next week to force the Justice Department to provide them with the audio from President Biden's interview with special counsel Robert Hur.

Speaker of the House Mike Johnson, R-La., conducts a news conference at the Republican National Committee after a meeting with Republican presidential candidate former President Donald Trump and the House Republican Conference on Thursday, June 13, 2024.

Mr. Hur’s investigation looked into whether the president mishandled classified documents. The final report of his findings said the president did mishandle classified documents, but he didn’t recommend criminal charges because a jury would sympathize with Mr. Biden being a forgetful, old man. “We need it. We’ve talked about it here with this group before, is that we’ve got to have the audiotape to confirm what is on the written transcript,” he said.

Mr. Johnson’s announcement comes after Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, Florida Republican, sent a letter to her colleagues Monday detailing her plan to force a vote this week on an “inherent contempt” resolution against Mr. Garland.
