AI-generated summary, report an errorThis resolution finds Michael Joseph in contempt of Congress for not complying with two subpoenas the House Committee on Ethics issued to him on September 11, 2025. One subpoena required him to produce documents, and the other required him to appear and testify before an investigative subcommittee. The resolution directs the Speaker of the House to certify the Ethics Committee's report to the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia so that legal proceedings can be brought against him. It also directs the Speaker to take other appropriate action to enforce the subpoenas.
