GOP Delays Garland Hearing To Attend Trump’s Trial

The House Oversight Committee shuffled its schedule, bumping a hearing to hold Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress so some of its members could instead attend former President Trump’s hush money trial.

The panel was set to meet early Thursday, an hour after a twin resolution censuring Garland would likewise be considered by the House Judiciary Committee.

Instead, it will now meet at 8 p.m. so that numerous Republicans who sit on the panel — including Freedom Caucus members — could attend the trial. Not all Republicans planning to attend the trial, however, sit on the Oversight panel. Rep. Andy Ogles [photo] will be among those in attendance.

I guess the oversight committee is gonna hold off on holding Garland in contempt tomorrow so they can go to New York and hold themselves in contempt. https://t.co/pwWQlsMGKf
