Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., warned that U.S. Attorney General Merrick Garland could be brought into custody for failing to deliver tapes of special counsel Rob Hur's interview of President Biden to Congress.
Joined by nine other House Republicans, including Freedom Caucus members as well as more moderate members, Luna announced at a press conference Wednesday that Garland "still has time" to comply with a congressional subpoena for the tapes, but if he does not, "we will press forward with calling the privilege motion on inherent contempt to the floor on Friday morning."
If the motion is successful, fellow House Republicans will direct House Speaker Mike Johnson to call up the Sergeant-at-Arms, "of which they do have the authority under this inherent contempt motion to bring him into custody," Luna said. "I also want to make it clear, though, that this is of Garland's choosing. Again, no one is above the law. And if he chooses to go down this path, then we will."
"It is also important to note that if we, as a Congress, do not have the ability to enforce our investigative ability, that we are essentially going to be ignored and undercut and essentially handicapped by all other branches, which would make us not a co-equal branch of government," Luna said.
