DOJ memo insists AG Garland can't face prosecution for contempt over Hur interview tape
Hur declined to bring charges in part due to his assessment that "Mr. Biden would likely present himself to a jury, as he did during our interview of him, as a sympathetic, well-meaning, elderly man with a poor memory."

House Republicans have issued a subpoena demanding that Garland turn over the audio recording of the interview, which he has refused to do, highlighting that Biden had claimed executive privilege over the recording.

The House advanced a contempt resolution in a 208-207 vote on Wednesday and a final vote is expected to take place Wednesday evening.

The OLC memo noted that the DOJ has never pursued contempt charges against an executive branch official when a president has exercised such privilege over the disputed material.

"Consistent with this longstanding position, no U.S. Attorney has pursued criminal contempt charges against an Executive Branch official asserting the President’s claim of executive privilege," the memo reads, according to The Hill.
