Trump reverses course, calls on House Republicans to release Epstein files
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump urged House Republicans to release the Epstein files, stating `We have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax` shortly after landing at Joint Base Andrews.
- This past week, dissident Republicans filed a discharge petition led by Rep. Thomas Massie, Republican of Kentucky, signed by all House Democrats and four Republicans to force a vote, with as many as 100 House Republicans backing it.
- The House Oversight Committee already released about 20,000 pages of Epstein emails on Nov. 12, and the release bill would compel the Justice Department to publish files with victim and probe redactions.
- This week, the House is expected to vote on whether to publish unclassified Epstein-related documents, with Trump’s shift signaling enough House support but an uncertain Senate outcome.
- Politically, the move follows Trump's prior dismissal of the matter as a Democratic smear and his calls for probes into high-profile Democrats, deepening a rift with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, Republican of Georgia, whose 2026 endorsement he withdrew last week.
