"That would-be lawmaker, Adelita Grijalva, told POLITICO she plans to become the 218th and clinching supporter of a bipartisan effort to force public disclosure of federal investigative files related to the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Grijalva is the daughter of the late Democratic stalwart, Rep. Raul Grijalva, and she seems quite serious about flipping the House on the Epstein issue."
"This is as much about fulfilling Congress' duty as a constitutional check on this administration as it is about demanding justice for survivors, she said. The days of turning a blind eye to Trump must end. Grijalva's vote sets in motion the process of prying loose what's left of the files. (No turnip truck for me. I suspect those files are paper shrapnel by now.) And Speaker Moses still has the ability to change some of his more weak-minded members into changing their votes."
Voters in southwest Arizona are highly likely to elect Adelita Grijalva in a special election, and she plans to be the 218th vote to force public disclosure of federal investigative files related to Jeffrey Epstein. A bipartisan discharge petition from Reps. Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna would sidestep Speaker Johnson and compel a floor vote to publish all Justice Department records with limited exceptions to protect victims. Grijalva's support would complete that process and increase pressure on Republican leadership, highlighting Speaker Johnson's narrow control and the potential for other Republicans to defy him. The effort frames the issue as both constitutional oversight and justice for survivors.
