The Republican-led House on Thursday rejected a Democratic resolution condemning Rep. Darrell Issa for turning off the microphones at the conclusion of a committee hearing a day earlier.

The House voted 211-186 to table the measure, which accused the California Republican, who is chairman of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, of violating chamber rules when he turned off the microphone of the panel’s top Democrat, Rep. Elijah Cummings of Maryland.
