The congressional office's casework has been frozen since Grijalva's election victory more than three weeks ago.

Despite the fact that the voters have made their voices clear, Speaker Mike Johnson has delayed and stonewalled Rep. Grijalva’s swearing in,” said AG Mayes.

House Speaker Mike Johnson resorted to a condescending jab when pressed on accusations that he is refusing to swear in a Democratic Rep.-elect to keep the Jeffrey Epstein files buried. Johnson has delayed seating Adelita Grijalva—who won her late father’s seat in a Sept.

House Speaker Johnson (R-GA) is refusing to swear in Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ). Johnson is blaming the government shutdown but Grijalva says it’s because she will be the deciding vote to release the Epstein files.

Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-Ariz.) said that there has been no communication between her and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), who is responsible for swearing her in as a member of Congress.
