Description
Tensions erupted outside Speaker Mike Johnson’s office as Arizona Senators Mark Kelly and Ruben Gallego confronted him over the government shutdown — and accused him of delaying the swearing-in of newly elected Rep. Adelita Grijalva to block progress on the Epstein files bill.
The heated exchange turned personal as lawmakers debated the shutdown, health care premiums, and allegations of political cover-ups.
Johnson denied the accusation, saying the House Oversight Committee is already working to release 34,000 pages of Epstein documents and more subpoenas are underway.
