Battling Trump, MAGA Firebrand Raises New Alarm About Epstein Cover-up Fears
Trump’s support for releasing Epstein files divides House Republicans as over 100 plan to defy him amid pressure from voters and donors ahead of 2026 midterms.
- House members prepare to vote to compel the Department of Justice to release Epstein files, as President Donald Trump briefly reversed and backed the measure, despite lobbying members to resist.
- Pressure to publish has grown after Epstein’s estate emails surfaced last week, calling Trump `the dog that hasn’t barked` and revealing he `spent hours` at Epstein’s house with a victim; calls follow past promises amid missing terabytes and delays from the House Oversight Committee.
- Congressman Suhas Subramanyam, Democratic congressman on the Oversight Committee, predicted many Republicans would break ranks, while one Republican claimed `100 or more` were ready to oppose the president, and Thomas Massie, Republican congressman, backs release.
- The dispute could affect 2026 campaign calculations as President Donald Trump has not endorsed Senate support or signing, forcing Republican voters and donors to seek clarity.
- The controversy also connects to debates over the MAGA movement's future and wider disputes sparked by Tucker Carlson's recent interview with Nick Fuentes and backlash against The Heritage Foundation.
