Adelita Grijalva, a Democrat from Arizona, faced delays in being sworn into the U.S. House of Representatives. House Speaker Mike Johnson initially refused to administer the oath, prompting legal action from the Arizona Attorney General and Grijalva herself. The delay led to lawsuits aimed at compelling her swearing-in. A House Republican publicly supported Grijalva, emphasizing her legitimate election victory. Eventually, Grijalva was officially sworn in as a member of Congress, where she promptly signed a discharge petition related to the Epstein files. The incident highlighted tensions between the parties and procedural disputes in the House.
