Johnson Patronizes Rep.-Elect When Cornered on Epstein Vote

House Speaker Mike Johnson resorted to a condescending jab when pressed on accusations that he is refusing to swear in a Democratic Rep.-elect to keep the Jeffrey Epstein files buried.

Johnson has delayed seating Adelita Grijalva—who won her late father’s seat in a Sept. 23 special election—until after the government shutdown. The Arizona Democrat says Johnson is stalling because she has pledged to be the 218th and final signature needed to force a vote on releasing files related to Epstein.
