Luna to force House vote on detaining Garland over Hur tapes

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-FL) will force a vote on her “inherent contempt” resolution for Attorney General Merrick Garland “in the next few days” after the Justice Department said it will not prosecute its leader.

The lower chamber voted to hold Garland in contempt of Congress in mid-June over his refusal to turn over the audio recording of President Joe Biden‘s classified documents interview with then-special counsel Robert Hur. However, the move all but fell on deaf ears after the DOJ said it would not seek to charge Garland criminally.
