⚠️NEW: Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes has filed a lawsuit against Speaker Mike Johnson to force him to swear in Rep-Elect Adelita Grijalva. She was elected one month ago today in the AZ-07 special election.
Democrats have also accused Johnson of delaying the move to head off a vote related to the Epstein files.
Li Zhou and Arthur Delaney at HuffPost:
In a scathing letter sent Tuesday, Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes threatened to sue House Speaker Mike Johnson over his failure to swear in Democratic Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva weeks after her successful election in the state. “Failing to seat Ms. Grijalva immediately or to otherwise provide a reasonable explanation as to when she will be seated will prompt legal action,” Mayes warned in the letter, which argued that Johnson’s delays were a violation of the Constitution. Mayes noted that Grijalva’s district was being deprived of representation and said that Johnson hadn’t offered a sufficient explanation for the postponement. “You and your staff have provided ever-shifting, unsatisfactory, and sometimes absurd stories as to why Ms. Grijalva has not been sworn in,” she wrote. Grijalva previously won nearly 70% of the vote in a special election for her late father Raul Grijalva’s seat in Arizona’s 7th district. That election took place on Sept. 23, yet she’s remained unseated since then. Mayes’s letter adds to growing pressure on Johnson as well as Democratic accusations that he’s dragging his feet to prevent a measure dedicated to releasing the Jeffrey Epstein files from getting a vote on the House floor. “She won her election. She’s a duly elected member of Congress. She should be sworn in,” Rep. Kevin Kiley (R-Calif.) told reporters on Tuesday. “Swear her in!” dozens of Democratic members reportedly chanted while marching to Johnson’s House office on Tuesday evening in order to push the issue.
Arizona AG Kris Mayes (D) threatens to file a lawsuit against pedo protector and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA) over his refusal to swear in Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva (D-AZ), as her swearing-in would likely mean that the discharge petition to force a vote on the Epstein Files would pass.

PHOENIX — President Donald Trump on Tuesday signed an executive order creating a nationwide list of verified eligible voters and asked the U.S. Postal Service to only send mail-in ballots to people on those lists.
The move is likely to draw legal challenges as the president continues to demand further restrictions on voting ahead of this year's midterm elections.
According to the Associated Press, the order calls on the Department of Homeland Security, working in conjunction with the Social Security Administration, to make the list of eligible voters in each state. It also seeks to bar the U.S. Postal Service from sending absentee ballots to those not on each state’s approved list.
Arizona Attorney General Kris Mayes called the move "unlawful."
"President Trump can sign all the executive orders he wants. It won't change the United States Constitution. States run their elections, not the President of the United States, not the Department of Homeland Security," a statement from Mayes said.
In Arizona, over 80 percent of voters choose to vote by mail, Mayes said.
