The Department of Justice missed a deadline this week to provide recordings of special counsel Robert Herr's interview with President Biden as part of a classified documents investigation. Herr is scheduled to testify on Capitol Hill on Tuesday. The House Judiciary Committee stated that they received a partial production from the DOJ but not the transcripts or audio they requested, and they are considering their next steps.
Attorney Mark Smith discussed the situation, highlighting the Republicans' likely focus on the perceived disparity in treatment between former President Trump and President Biden by the DOJ. Smith suggested that the upcoming testimony of Robert Herr could be used to emphasize this point and potentially lead to further inquiries into the DOJ's actions.
Smith also addressed the issue of President Biden's mental state, noting that the focus should be on his condition at the time of the alleged actions rather than his current state. He pointed out the contrast between Democrats praising Biden's mental acuity and the DOJ's report citing memory issues as a reason for not pursuing charges.

The discussion raised questions about the House Judiciary Committee's ability to obtain the necessary materials for Tuesday's hearing if the DOJ does not provide the requested audio and transcripts. The potential implications of Herr's testimony and the committee's next steps remain to be seen.
As the situation unfolds, the House Judiciary Committee's pursuit of information related to President Biden's actions and the DOJ's handling of the case will likely continue to draw attention and scrutiny.
