The government shutdown may be a strategic move by Trump to delay the release of the Epstein files, potentially to protect himself from damaging revelations. This suspicion arises from the delayed swearing-in of U.S. Representative-elect Adelita Grijalva, who would be the deciding vote to force the files’ release. House Speaker Mike Johnson, known for following Trump’s directives, has seemingly stalled Grijalva’s oath, raising concerns about an attempt to obstruct transparency surrounding the Epstein case.

Democrats argue that Johnson should swear in Grijalva during a pro forma session and reverse the decision to cancel votes. Johnson’s office maintains that Grijalva’s swearing-in will occur when the House reconvenes.
