This resolution finds that Attorney General Merrick Garland is in contempt of Congress for refusing to comply with a subpoena issued on February 27, 2024. The House Judiciary Committee and House Oversight Committee had requested specific materials from the Department of Justice related to Special Counsel Robert Hur's investigation into President Biden's handling of classified documents. The resolution declares that Garland failed to produce the requested documents despite being legally required to do so. As a consequence, the resolution imposes a daily fine of ten thousand dollars on the Attorney General that continues until he complies with the subpoena. The resolution was introduced by Representative Luna and referred to the House Rules Committee on June 28, 2024.
