WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. Adelita Grijalva, D-Ariz., signed a petition Wednesday to force the House to vote on releasing files related to Jeffrey Epstein, giving it the required 218 signatures.
Grijalva was sworn in as the newest member of Congress on Wednesday, more than seven weeks after she won a special election in Arizona to fill the House seat last held by her late father.

Grijalva was sworn in by House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-Los Angeles, on Wednesday shortly before the House returned to session to vote on a deal to fund the federal government. The House of Representatives has been absent since mid-September.
Grijalva’s seating brings the House’s partisan margin to a narrow Republican majority of 220-214. She pledged to continue her father’s legacy of advocating for progressive policies on issues such as environmental protection, labor rights and tribal sovereignty.
She previously described the prospect of finally being sworn in as “emotional” in an interview with The Associated Press.
