When the House finally is called back into session by Speaker Mike Johnson (R-LA), and he swears in newly-elected Rep. Adelia Grijalva (D-AZ), the discharge petition to release the Jeffrey Epstein files will move forward with the help of more Republicans joining on.

That is according to Rep. Eric Swalwell (D-CA) who spoke with MSNBC’s Ali Velshi late Thursday night.

Discussing the plight of federal workers during what California Democrat called the “Epstein shutdown,” he told the host that he has been talking to his GOP House colleagues behind the scenes and they are ready to get the Epstein mess out of their hands.

“All they're doing is delaying the inevitable with Epstein because that vote is coming,” he told the MSNBC host.

“But let me also share with you what a Republican told me,” he continued. “He told me that when that vote happens, it's going to be what what they call a, quote, ‘jailbreak,’ right?'"

"He said you will see over 100 Republican members vote for it,” Swalwell claimed as the MSNBC host blurted, “Wow.”

“Because they know that their constituents are demanding it, so it's all coming out.” he added.
