The GOP-led House of Representatives advanced a resolution holding Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress on Wednesday.
House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., predicted that the resolution would ultimately pass.
"I do think the contempt of Merrick Garland will pass on the floor and we're anxious to have that happen," he said during a news conference.
The vote on the rule providing for consideration of the resolution passed along party lines 208-207.
