On Thursday, the GOP-led House shot down an effort to use its rarely-employed inherent contempt power against Attorney General Merrick Garland for refusing to share audio from the classified documents probe against President Joe Biden.
Four Republicans and 206 Democrats voted against the resolution, which sought to fine Garland $10,000 a day until he stopped defying a subpoena for the tapes, while 204 Republicans and no Democrats supported it. Twelve Republicans and seven Democrats did not vote.
