Comer and Jordan said they expect Garland "to produce all responsive materials no later than 12:00 p.m. on April 8, 2024."
"If you fail to do so, the Committees will consider taking further action, such as the invocation of contempt of Congress proceedings," they wrote.

The president has claimed that he did not share classified information with Zwonitzer, but Hur’s report, released last month, states that Biden would "read from his notebooks nearly verbatim, sometimes for an hour or more at a time," and "at least three times President Biden read classified notes from national security meetings" to Zwonitzer "nearly verbatim."
Hur testified earlier this month that Zwonitzer "slid" files of audio recordings and transcripts of conversations with Biden "into his recycle bin on his computer" upon learning that a special counsel had been appointed to investigate the matter.
Jordan, during Hur’s public hearing earlier this month, asked whether the ghostwriter tried to "destroy the evidence."
"Correct," Hur testified.
Hur, who released his report to the public in February after months of investigating, did not recommend criminal charges against Biden for mishandling and retaining classified documents — and stated that he wouldn't bring charges against Biden even if he were not in the Oval Office.

Those records included classified documents about military and foreign policy in Afghanistan and other countries, among other records related to national security and foreign policy, which Hur said implicated "sensitive intelligence sources and methods."
Hur, in his report, described Biden as a "sympathetic, well-meaning elderly man with a poor memory" – a description that has raised significant concerns for Biden's 2024 reelection campaign.
