Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has threatened legal action against House Speaker Mike Johnson for failing to swear in Adelita Grijalva, who won a special election to represent Arizona’s 7th Congressional District. Grijalva’s swearing-in is crucial because she could be the deciding vote to force a vote on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Mayes believes Johnson’s delay is politically motivated, potentially due to Grijalva’s support for the Epstein files release and has accused Johnson of depriving Arizona of its full representation in Congress. If Johnson does not provide a timeline for Grijalva’s swearing in, Mayes plans to seek judicial relief, arguing that his actions are unconstitutional.

Recent reports in UK media have brought Prince Andrew’s relationship with Jeffrey Epstein back into the public eye, specifically focusing on an email exchange. The email, purportedly sent in 2011, directly contradicts previous statements from the royal, asserting he had ceased contact with Epstein in 2010. The email, signed “A” and “HRH The Duke of York KG,” includes a message indicating a continued connection and a desire to “play some more.” This revelation is particularly significant given the context of a 2010 meeting and Prince Andrew’s denial of any further contact with Epstein.

Following a landslide victory in a special election, Adelita Grijalva, the Arizona Democrat, has been denied her seat in Congress by Speaker Mike Johnson. Despite the overwhelming support from voters, Johnson has refused to swear her in, leaving her unable to fulfill her duties. This delay has raised questions, particularly given that two Republican lawmakers were sworn in promptly after their special election wins, even during pro forma sessions. The refusal is tied to Grijalva’s promise to release the Epstein files on her first day, an effort opposed by former President Trump and possibly by Johnson. This controversial situation suggests potential political motivations behind the delay.

Amidst a political battle over the release of FBI files related to Jeffrey Epstein, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries has accused Republicans of covering up for pedophiles. The controversy stems from the files’ potential to reveal details about Epstein’s connections, including his past relationship with former President Donald Trump, despite the Trump administration initially promising to release the files. The situation is further complicated by the House being one vote shy of forcing a vote on the files, which has led to accusations that Republicans are intentionally delaying the swearing-in of a Democratic representative who would provide the needed vote. Jeffries has asserted that Republicans are acting on Trump’s behalf to conceal the Epstein files.
