TELL THE U.S. HOUSE: Speaker Johnson continues to refuse to swear in Democrat Adelita Grijalva,
despite her election to the House, a lawsuit from Arizona demanding he
follow the Constitution, and even Republicans calling for him to seat her.
Grijalva would be the majority-clinching signature forcing a vote on
releasing the Epstein files. Sign the petition: End the Trump-Johnson cover-up — force a vote on releasing the Epstein
files!

No matter what Speaker Johnson says, his refusal to swear in newly elected
Democrat Adelita Grijalva to the House is a shocking rebuke of the
Constitution and the people of Arizona’s 7th Congressional District. It’s
also another bogus tactic holding back a vote on releasing the Epstein
files, since Grijalva would be the majority-clinching signature forcing a
vote on releasing the files.
Arizona Senator Ruben Gallego accused Johnson of wanting to “cover up for
pedophiles on the Epstein list.”^1
Johnson didn’t delay when two Republicans won their special elections
earlier this year — he swore them in the very next day.^2 The House must
pressure Johnson to seat Grijalva, force a vote, and release the Epstein
files!

Last week, Arizona filed a lawsuit against the U.S. House over Johnson’s
refusal to seat Grijalva, the representative for AZ’s 7th Congressional
District.^3 Even some Republicans are now calling on Johnson to follow the
Constitution and seat the representative.^4
Johnson knows that a vote to force the release of government information
about the crimes and accomplices of convicted child sex trafficker Jeffrey
Epstein could do major damage to Trump and his powerful friends.
We must ensure our lawmakers hold Johnson and Trump accountable to the
public — they must swear-in Grijalva now and force a vote on releasing the
Epstein files!
