Finding that Merrick Garland, Attorney General of the United States, is in contempt of the House of Representatives for disobeying a certain subpoena.

HRES 1205 is a procedural resolution declaring Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of the House for failing to comply with a February 27, 2024, subpoena. The subpoena requested specific materials from the Department of Justice related to the Special Counsel's investigation into President Biden's handling of classified documents. The resolution authorizes the House Sergeant at Arms to arrest Garland and bring him before the House to answer questions about the matter. This is a symbolic legislative action with no legal enforcement power, as contempt findings by Congress are typically not pursued through actual arrest.
