On 6/12/2024, House Majority Leader Steve Scalise (R-La.) joined Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), House Majority Whip Tom Emmer (R-Minn.), Conference Chair Elise Stefanik (R-N.Y.), Chairman Jim Jordan (R-Ohio), and Congressman Mark Alford (R-Mo.) to discuss House Republicans holding Merrick Garland accountable for refusing to comply with Congressional subpoenas in order to protect President Biden. Leader Scalise highlighted the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) on the Floor this week that will set to improve service members’ quality of life, increase their pay, and ensure we have the resources we need to defend ourselves at home and abroad.

“We have another busy week on the floor. And of course, it starts with the contempt of Merrick Garland. My colleagues have talked about – this is something that we have been trying to get the facts out for months and months. Merrick Garland knows what the rules are. He issues subpoenas himself, and he doesn’t let the person that he’s issuing the subpoena to decide whether or not they want to comply. Yet that’s what he said. He said he just doesn’t think that this is something that he has to comply with. Well with all due respect, this is not your decision. Congress has a constitutional duty to perform oversight which is what we’re doing. We’re in the middle of an impeachment inquiry, which Chairman Jordan pointed out has been voted on by the House already. And now we need to get the facts.”

“You look at the White House themselves. They’ve acknowledged that as they’ve turned over the transcripts, those transcripts have been edited. Well, there’s one way you can find out what the edits were and that is to actually get the source tape, get the audios. That’s the only way we’re going to know what was really said. We know already by the White House’s own admission that the transcript does not reflect what was said. It’s only the audio that does which is why we need to get the audio tape. And clearly there’s no executive privilege otherwise as has been pointed out, they wouldn’t have turned over the transcript in the first place. But they’ve done it. But they’ve also acknowledged that they’ve edited the document that they turned over to us. Now we need to get the source document, which is the audio, and that’s why we’re moving forward.”

“Look, the world’s a more dangerous place than it’s ever been. We saw that again this morning with the arrest of eight ISIS fighters here in the United States because Joe Biden opened up the southern border. If anybody wondered, and we’ve been saying this for years now, that because Joe Biden opened up the border, at some point, our country will be at risk and our national security is undermined. And it was pointed out yet again with eight ISIS fighters caught, how many more terrorists are in our country because Joe Biden opened up the southern border, pre-positioned in cities around this country getting ready to do us harm? So it just goes to show you the world is a very dangerous place.

Scalise: With All Due Respect Mr. Garland, You Don’t Have The Option To Not Comply With A Subpoena
