Trump 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.
