Former AG Mukasey knocks Merrick Garland’s withholding of Biden audio files: ‘Entirely unconvincing’
From The New York Post:
Former US Attorney General Michael Mukasey has knocked current AG Merrick Garland for making a “flawed privilege assertion” to withhold audio recordings from Congress of President Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur.
Mukasey, who served as the country’s chief law enforcement official under former President George W. Bush from 2007 to 2009, said in a declaration filed in federal court in Washington, DC, on Friday that Garland is wrong to harbor the recordings.
Conservative groups such as the Heritage Foundation and Judicial Watch, as well as some news outlets, filed a lawsuit for the recordings earlier this year, following a Freedom of Information Act request.
