Luna proposes fining Garland $10K per day instead of taking him into custody

Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) is proposing a less dramatic way to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in “inherent contempt” of Congress over his refusal to turn over the audio from President Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur regarding his handling of classified documents.

Rather than directing the House sergeant-at-arms to take Garland into custody to enforce the GOP subpoena for the tapes, a resolution from Luna filed Friday would fine Garland $10,000 per day until he complies.
