During an interview\u2064 with Fox News host Maria \u2062Bartiromo, Rep. Luna outlined a resolution which, if passed, \u200dwould authorize the House sergeant-at-arms \u2064to\u200b detain Garland if he continues to ignore congressional subpoenas. This move would enable Congress to act as a punitive\u2063 body to enforce accountability. \u200cThe discussion gains further context as Speaker Mike Johnson signaled possible\u2063 legal\u200c action after the Department of Justice announced\u200b it wouldn&#8217;t prosecute Garland following his \u2063contempt of Congress citation. This was after President\u2064 Biden invoked <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cnn-complains-about-fox-news-chyrons-regarding-biden-ignoring-networks-own-chyrons-during-trump\/\" title=\"CNN Complains About Fox News Chyrons Regarding Biden, Ignoring Network\u2019s Own Chyrons During Trump\">executive privilege<\/a> over the recordings.
