Trump reverses course, calls on House Republicans to release Epstein files

Trump reversed his stance urging House Republicans to support releasing unclassified Epstein investigation documents amid mounting GOP pressure and a likely House vote this week.

  • On Sunday, President Donald Trump instructed House Republicans to vote to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein, posting on Truth Social that `we have nothing to hide`.
  • Rep. Thomas Massie's discharge petition secured 218 signatures, including four Republicans, forcing Speaker Mike Johnson to bring the bill to the floor amid GOP pressure.
  • The House Oversight Committee released about 20,000 pages of material last week, including a 2019 email from Jeffrey Epstein and thousands of private files while the Justice Department still holds witness interviews.
  • A House vote is expected on Tuesday to consider unsealing Epstein records, but the bill's Senate prospects remain uncertain and would require President Donald Trump's signature if approved.
  • Amid GOP fractures, President Donald Trump withdrew his endorsement of Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, while the Epstein Files Transparency Act mandates full release with victim protections and redactions.
