Bill 118 HRES 1292 is a resolution introduced in the US House of Representatives that recommends finding United States Attorney General Merrick B. Garland in contempt of Congress. This recommendation is based on Garland's refusal to comply with a subpoena issued by the Committee on the Judiciary.The Committee on the Judiciary had issued a subpoena to Attorney General Garland requesting certain documents or information. However, Garland declined to comply with the subpoena, citing various reasons for his refusal.
The resolution argues that Garland's refusal to comply with the subpoena constitutes a violation of Congress's oversight authority and hinders its ability to conduct investigations and fulfill its constitutional duties. It calls for the House of Representatives to formally find Garland in contempt of Congress for his actions. The resolution is currently being debated in the House of Representatives, with members from both parties weighing in on the issue. It remains to be seen how the House will ultimately vote on the resolution and what consequences, if any, Garland may face if found in contempt.
