众议院议长约翰逊因爱泼斯坦档案投票争议推迟新当选议员格里哈尔瓦宣誓就职

摘要

众议院议长迈克·约翰逊推迟了新当选议员阿德丽塔·格里哈尔瓦的宣誓就职,延迟了可能就释放与杰弗里·爱泼斯坦相关文件进行的众议院投票。

众议院议长迈克·约翰逊以持续的政府停摆为由,推迟了新当选议员阿德丽塔·格里哈尔瓦的宣誓就职。格里哈尔瓦于9月23日赢得亚利桑那州第七国会选区的特别选举,但尚未正式就职,导致其选区选民暂时没有代表。

这一推迟引发了民主党人的批评,他们指责约翰逊的行为具有政治动机,旨在阻止格里哈尔瓦成为第218位签署人,从而使一项解除阻止的请愿书获得通过。该请愿书旨在强制众议院就释放与已故金融家及被定罪性犯罪者杰弗里·爱泼斯坦相关的未删减文件进行投票。格里哈尔瓦公开承诺,一旦就职将签署该请愿书。

约翰逊否认了这些指控,称推迟是因停摆期间的程序规范所致。他强调,一旦立法会议恢复,众议院将为格里哈尔瓦举行宣誓仪式。

此事加剧了国会山的紧张局势,民主党人敦促立即采取行动,让格里哈尔瓦就职并推进关于爱泼斯坦档案的投票。这场僵局的结果可能对国会程序及敏感调查的透明度产生重大影响。
