House to Vote on Contempt of Congress Against AG Garland Over Biden Tapes, Expected to Pass
May 22, 2024, 02:13 PM
The House of Representatives is preparing to hold a vote on holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress. Speaker Mike Johnson stated that the House GOP is working on the contempt referral, which is expected to come to the floor soon. The move is aimed at compelling Garland to provide audio tapes of a Biden interview, which the committees need for their legislative work. Johnson emphasized that the action is not politically motivated and expressed confidence that the measure will pass the House handily. Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch noted that Congress has inherent contempt authority and can enforce it directly.
