Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., has escalated her efforts to obtain audio tapes of Special Counsel Robert Hur's interview with President Biden by threatening to impose a $10,000 per day fine on Attorney General Merrick Garland for each day he fails to turn over the tapes. Luna intends to force a vote on her inherent contempt resolution against Garland, which would allow the House to try and convict him.
Luna filed a new resolution on Friday to hold Garland in inherent contempt and fine him for withholding the tapes. She plans to declare the measure 'privileged' when the House reconvenes on July 8, ensuring that it will be taken up within two legislative days.
