The transcript of the conversation makes clear none of the items the GOP said it wished to evaluate in earlier letters was discussed. “Nothing in the interview transcripts the Department has already produced speaks to or supports the Committees’ speculation on this point, and nothing in the audio file of the same conversations would do so either. Nothing in Special Counsel Hur’s report or his testimony indicates any support for this speculation, either,” the DOJ wrote in an April letter to House Judiciary Chair Jim Jordan (R-Ohio) rebuffing his demands for the tape.
Some Republican members have expressed support for a much more dramatic strategy to get Garland to overturn the Biden-Hur tapes: Hold Garland in “inherent contempt” and direct the House Sergeant at Arms to detain Garland until he does so. Rep. Anna Paulina Luna (R-Fla.) is leading the push to use inherent contempt, which has not been used in nearly 100 years. But while she had promised to force a vote on her resolution to hold Garland in inherent contempt, she declined to do so last week, citing GOP attendance issues and telling The Hill that she would introduce a new inherent contempt resolution that has the support of the Speaker. Luna on Friday introduced a new inherent contempt resolution that, rather than directing the Sergeant at Arms to take Garland into custody, would fine Garland $10,000 per day until he complies with the House GOP subpoena.
Johnson has not yet asserted his support for any inherent contempt resolution.
