Hakeem Jeffries warned Johnson that he was about to be sued on Friday:
All options are on the table when it comes to Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva. It is shameful that she was not sworn in because President Johnson and the House Republicans apparently want to continue hiding the Jeffrey Epstein files from the American people.
This has been going on for weeks now, and so I expect that if she is not sworn in today in the pro forma session, as the Arizona Attorney General has made clear, I expect swift and decisive legal action.

Johnson responded to Jeffries by telling reporters:
I thought Hakeem was a better lawyer than that. It’s a publicity stunt by a Democratic attorney general from Arizona who sees the national issue and wants to call me out.
