Arizona Democrat Adelita Grijalva was sworn in to office by House Speaker Mike Johnson on Wednesday, 50 days after winning her seat in Congress. Soon after, Grijalva provided the final signature on a discharge petition to force a vote on the Justice Department’s full release of the Epstein files.

Rep. Adelita Grijalva: For one individual to be able to silence 800,000 people, it’s unconscionable. It’s grosero. It’s just not OK. Speaker Johnson purposefully obstructed my swearing-in by canceling vote after vote. And the Epstein files discharge petition sat one signature short. With my signing, we move one step closer to the truth, the truth that they will try to deny, but that survivors deserve their day of justice, and the American people demand it.”

We’ll speak with Congressmember Adelita Grijalva later in the broadcast.
