Rep. Luna Plans Vote to Detain AG Garland Over Biden Interview Tapes

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) plans to invoke an inherent contempt resolution to detain Attorney General Merrick Garland for refusing to release audiotapes from special counsel Robert Hur's interview with President Biden. The House voted to hold Garland in contempt, but the DOJ will not prosecute. Luna's resolution leverages a congressional power unused since 1935, aiming to have the House sergeant-at-arms arrest Garland. This action underscores Congress's frustration with the executive branch's non-compliance. Democrats criticize the move as politically motivated, while Republicans argue the tapes are essential for oversight.
