Resolution Recommending That the House of Representatives Find Michael Joseph in Contempt of Congress for Refusal to Comply with Subpoenas Duly Issued by the Committee on Ethics

A resolution to find Michael Joseph in contempt of Congress for not complying with subpoenas from the Committee on Ethics, which ordered him to provide documents and testify in an investigation. The Ethics Committee chairman, Michael Guest, said Joseph did not appear and gave no valid legal reason, and asked that the matter be referred to the Department of Justice. Democrats Mark DeSaulnier and Suhas Subramanyam also supported the resolution, saying witnesses cannot ignore congressional subpoenas and that enforcement is needed for investigations to work. The debate was brief, with members of both parties speaking in favor.Written by AI from the debate. Updated .
