House to Vote on $10,000 Daily Fine for AG Garland in Inherent Contempt Over Biden Tapes
Jul 10, 2024, 09:37 PM
The House of Representatives is set to vote on a resolution to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in inherent contempt for failing to comply with a congressional subpoena to release the Biden-Hur audiotapes. The resolution, spearheaded by Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, proposes a fine of $10,000 per day until Garland complies. Speaker Mike Johnson has expressed support for the resolution but prefers to follow existing legal proceedings. The House has already rejected motions to table or refer the resolution to the Rules Committee, indicating strong momentum for the vote. Former President Donald Trump has publicly backed the resolution, emphasizing the need for accountability. Rep. Luna has cited historical and judicial precedents affirming Congress's constitutional authority to use inherent contempt. The vote is scheduled for tomorrow morning around 10:15 AM EST. Four Republicans voted against tabling the resolution. Garland's refusal to comply with subpoenas has drawn comparisons to the cases of Steve Bannon and Peter Navarro.
