Fox News reports:
Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, R-Fla., is vowing to force a vote on Attorney General Merrick Garland’s arrest if the Department of Justice (DOJ) fails to act on a criminal contempt resolution backed by House GOP leaders.
Luna told Fox News Digital on Tuesday evening that she would plan to force a vote on her “inherent contempt” resolution against Garland after the full House of Representatives weighs the Biden official’s fate with a separate measure.
“As of right now, we fully intend to bring it,” Luna revealed. “I don’t really have much faith in the Department of Justice. And I don’t think the American people do either. But we are trying to bring back a level playing field and show that, you know, there should be accountability all the way up to the top.”

Luna appeared here last month when she authored a bill that would award Trump the Congressional Gold Medal.
She appeared here in February 2024 when she introduced a bill that would force members of Congress who voted for aid to Ukraine to serve in the war.
Luna, a freshman, was elected after DeSantis personally redrew her district to make it more red.
A former staffer for Charlie Kirk’s Turning Point USA, in 2020 Luna failed to unseat Rep. Charlie Crist.
In 2022, Luna claimed that her Republican primary rivals had plotted to have her murdered.
In May 2023, Luna declared in a House floor speech that “humanitarian aid for women and children in Afghanistan” is illegal because it is not mentioned in the Constitution.
Also last year, the Washington Post reported that Luna had invented her hardscrabble backstory, including claims that her father spent time in prison and that she’d been a victim of a home invasion.
While serving in the Air Force under her given name Anna Mayerhofer, she reportedly made conflicting claims of being Middle Eastern, Jewish, and Eastern European.
