The House of Representatives is poised to vote on the release of previously unreleased Department of Justice files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Congresswoman-elect Adelita Grijalva, a Democrat, is expected to sign the petition, bringing the total number of signatures to the required 218 to force a floor vote. While Speaker Mike Johnson denies any intentional delay, some speculate that Grijalva’s delayed swearing-in was strategic to prevent the vote. If the petition passes the House, it would then require Senate approval to be enacted.
