US EditionTrump reverses course, calls on House Republicans to release Epstein files
Trump urged House Republicans to vote on releasing Justice Department files on Jeffrey Epstein after a discharge petition gained enough signatures, aiming to quell party dissent.
- On Sunday, President Donald Trump abruptly reversed course and urged House Republicans to support releasing DOJ files on Jeffrey Epstein, saying `we have nothing to hide`.
- After a bipartisan discharge petition hit 218 signatures last week, Rep. Thomas Massie, R-Ky., secured signatures to force the vote, compelling House Speaker Mike Johnson, R-La., to act.
- Committee Republicans released more than 20,000 pages of emails on Wednesday, many mentioning Trump's name, while the Department of Justice has already turned over tens of thousands more.
- The House could vote as early as Monday or Tuesday after a bipartisan discharge petition forced the measure, and lawmakers warned the roll call may affect public confidence in the Department of Justice and Congress.
- After days of pressuring colleagues not to move forward, President Donald Trump abruptly changed course following a public rupture with Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., whom he called a `traitor`, deepening Republican Party fractures on Capitol Hill.

The US and Russia have secretly drawn up a peace plan to end the war in Ukraine. Trump appears to have once again negotiated without Ukraine's participation. According to several reports, the plan gives Russia all the advantages: Ukraine must give up more land in Donbass and significantly reduce its defense forces.
On 19 November, several Western media outlets immediately revealed the details of a new peace plan for Ukraine, which was not publicly worked on by men from Vladimir Putin's and Donald Trump's teams (without inviting either Ukraine itself or the European Union to the talks), a document consisting of 28 points that largely echoes the Kremlin's maximalist demands, and it seems that it is neither realistic in Ukraine nor in the West, nor, paradoxic…
