Key Democrat says bipartisan vote to compel Trump release of Epstein files could come Monday: 'As soon as she's sworn in

The Democratic congressman co-sponsoring bipartisan legislation to force a vote to release the Justice Department’s files on Jeffrey Epstein told The Independent that they plan to hold the vote as soon as the newest member of Congress takes her seat.

And that could be as soon as Monday.

On Tuesday, Arizona’s 7th district held a special election, which Adelita Grijalva won to replace her father, the late Raúl Grijalva. Grijalva said that she plans to immediately sign a discharge petition to force the vote.

Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) filed a discharge petition in July to force the release of files related to Epstein. If a discharge petition receives the signature of a majority of members, they can force a vote without the consent of leadership.

Her name comes from Adela Velarde Pérez, a real life revolutionary heroine in the Mexican revolution.


She hasn't even been in one session and is already starting to live up to her name.
