Epstein/Maxwell Survivors Send Letter To Speaker Mike Johnson Demanding Adelita Grijalva Be Sworn In
By Denise Rivette
Moments ago, Jim Acosta posted a video after an Epstein survivor gave him a copy of the letter survivors and the family of Virginia Guiffre sent to House Speaker Mike Johnson demanding that Arizona representative-elect Adelita Grijalva be sworn in (below). Speaker Johnson has been avoiding swearing her in since September 24 to fill the seat vacated by her father’s death. Grijalva and Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes have since sued Johnson for the delay, arguing that his stall-tactics have denied the more than 800,000 Arizonans in the 7th Congressional District their constitutional right to representation.
Yesterday, the AZ Mirror reported “Because Johnson has refused to seat Grijalva, she now holds the record for the longest delay in seating a member of Congress following a special election, a distinction previously held by Rep. Jimmy Gomez, of California. But there’s a huge difference: Gomez requested the delay due to family issues, while Grijalva and other Democrats have repeatedly demanded that Johnson swear in Grijalva.”
“Grijalva, along with other Democrats, claim that Johnson is blocking her from taking office because she would be the 218th vote needed to force the release of the FBI’s case files concerning pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Republicans have largely opposed doing so because President Donald Trump is reportedly featured in those files, as he and Epstein were close friends in the 1990s before they had a falling out. Johnson has denied those allegations.”
