Garland wrote in a separate letter to Biden that the audio recordings of his interview “fall within the scope of executive privilege,” and that giving the recordings to Congress "would raise an unacceptable risk of undermining the Department’s ability to conduct similar high-profile criminal investigations — in particular, investigations where the voluntary cooperation of White House officials is exceedingly important.”

Yeah, I mean, this seems completely reasonable? This doesn’t seem like a scandal so much as shutting down a probable attempt by the GOP to make a big deal out of these audio recordings’ contents regardless of what it is (or isn’t), which would undoubtedly make future subjects of these interviews guard their tongues a lot more.
