Democrat calls out 'do-nothing' GOP for attending 'cult leader's' trial

Rep. Eric Swalwell of California took the “do-nothing” Republicans to task during Thursday’s House Judiciary Committee meeting to discuss the GOP’s plan to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress for refusing to release the audio recording of President Joe Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur. Written transcripts of the interview were released to the public months ago.

"It's nice to see that some of my colleagues on the other side can make it today,” Swalwell began, referring to the more than a dozen Freedom Caucus Republican Congress members who have abandoned their jobs to attend Donald Trump’s criminal fraud trial. “I don't know if that means that there weren't enough seats in the courtroom in New York."
