Legal Action Threatened Against Speaker Mike Johnson Over Swearing-in Delay of Adelita Grijalva

The Arizona Attorney General has threatened legal action against House Speaker Mike Johnson, demanding the immediate swearing-in of Democrat Adelita Grijalva. Grijalva, who won her election with a significant margin, remains unseated amid accusations that Johnson is delaying the process to block a vote related to the release of the Epstein files. The standoff has led to intense confrontations in Congress, with Democrats alleging that the refusal to seat Grijalva is part of a cover-up scheme. Johnson claims that any delays are unrelated to the controversial Epstein files, but Democrats are pressing for accountability. The Attorney General has issued a firm ultimatum, stating that legal action will commence if Grijalva is not sworn in soon.
