HRES 1334 United States House · 118th Congress

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

This resolution finds Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of the House for failing to provide a specific set of documents related to the Special Counsel's investigation into President Biden's handling of classified documents. The House demanded these materials from the Department of Justice in a February 2024 subpoena but received no response. The resolution imposes a daily $10,000 fine on Garland until he complies with the subpoena. (Note: This is a procedural resolution, not a law, and does not alter legal obligations.)
