The House rejected a resolution to \u2062hold\u2063 Attorney General Merrick Garland in\u2062 inherent contempt<\/a> of Congress for withholding access to audio recordings \u200dof interviews between special counsel Robert Hur and President Biden. The resolution, filed by Rep.\u200c Anna Paulina Luna, failed to secure the majority vote needed<\/a> to pass. Democrats argued \u200cthat the matter should \u2062be handled in the courts, rather than legislatively. Luna’s push to\u200b hold Garland in contempt intensified after concerns were raised about Biden’s cognitive abilities during the\u2064 first presidential debate. House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed reservations about the resolution and preferred \u200dto pursue alternative\u2063 paths \u200dto access the tapes. Ultimately, the resolution was defeated after Democrats successfully delayed the vote. <\/p>\n
