BREAKING: Mike Johnson backs bringing House vote to hold Merrick Garland in ‘inherent contempt’ of Congress over refusal to release Biden-Hur tapes
Garland was held in contempt of Congress for refusing to hand over the audio tapes of Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur. The Department of Justice refused to prosecute Garland.
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna revealed on Friday morning that the House will vote on holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in "inherent contempt" of Congress in the upcoming session. She said that the motion has received the full support of House Speaker Mike Johnson.
"The vote for inherent contempt against Garland will be brought to the floor this upcoming session with full support from Speaker Johnson. This version of inherent contempt will become common practice for those that seek to undermine Congress as an equal branch of government," Luna wrote.
"Garland needs to answer for his blatant disrespect for Congress and the rule of law. This inherent contempt has the full backing of the Speaker of the House," she added.
Luna wrote that following Biden’s performance at Thursday night’s debate on CNN, "America cannot go ONE MORE DAY without hearing the Hur-Biden tapes."
