House rejects GOP effort to fine Attorney General Garland for refusal to turn over Biden audio

The House has rejected a GOP effort to fine Attorney General Merrick Garland $10,000 a day until he turns over audio of President Joe Biden’s interview in his classified documents case. A handful of Republicans resisted taking an aggressive step against a Cabinet official Thursday as part of a longstanding fight between the majority in the House and the Democratic administration. Even if the resolution had passed it was unclear how the fine would be enforced as the dispute over the tape of Biden’s interview with special counsel Robert Hur plays out in court. The House voted 204-210, with four Republicans joining all Democrats, to halt a Republican resolution that would've imposed the fine.
