House rejects ‘inherent contempt’ resolution for Garland over tape of Biden interview - Roll Call

The House rejected an “inherent contempt” resolution against Attorney General Merrick B. Garland on Thursday, foiling a Republican attempt to ramp up pressure to release audio of a special counsel interview with President Joe Biden.

The measure from Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., rejected 204-210, would fine the attorney general $10,000 a day until he complies with congressional subpoenas for the recording. Several Republicans joined with Democrats in voting against the resolution.

The measure was the latest in a months-long push from House Republicans to get the audio recording of former special counsel Robert K. Hur’s interview with the president, which took place as part of a probe into Biden’s handling of classified materials.
