Members of the Democratic Women’s Caucus on Wednesday marched through the Capitol and to Speaker Mike Johnson’s office with Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, demanding that she be sworn in. Grijalva won a special election in Arizona more than three weeks ago. She would be the final 218th vote on a discharge petition to release the Epstein files. On Tuesday, Grijalva reported that she finally had access to her congressional office, but that the phone lines aren’t working, and there are no computers or internet in the office.
