Arizona Sues Mike Johnson Over Delayed Swearing-In of Democrat Adelita Grijalva
TL;DR
Arizona's attorney general has sued the House to force the swearing-in of Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva, whose delayed oath is linked to a petition to release Jeffrey Epstein files. The House, led by Speaker Mike Johnson, has not yet sworn her in due to scheduling issues amid a government shutdown, with critics alleging the delay aims to prevent a vote on the files. Johnson dismisses the lawsuit as absurd, asserting the House's authority.
