House Republicans move forward with bid to hold Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress

House Republicans have moved forward with an attempt to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress.

On Thursday, the judiciary committee voted along party lines that the panel would recommend that the full House of Representatives hold Mr Garland in contempt.

The Oversight Committee looks set to take the same measure on Thursday night, according to Politico.

A majority of the full House must then vote for the measure before it can be handed to a US attorney.
