Donald Trump Makes Huge U-Turn On Epstein Files With Huge Announcement

In a significant reversal, President Donald Trump has instructed House Republicans to vote in favor of disclosing government files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Using his Truth Social platform, Trump declared that he and his party have “nothing to hide” and labeled the push for documents a “Democrat Hoax” meant to distract from Republican successes.

This new stance marks a sharp shift from Trump’s recent efforts to block the release. The pressure for transparency has been growing within his own party, with a discharge petition forcing a vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The bill would require the Justice Department to release all unclassified records concerning the financier, who died in custody in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Republican Representative Thomas Massie, a co-sponsor of the bill, has argued that full transparency is in the public interest. He stated it is necessary for future accountability to ensure such crimes never happen again. The legislative push has created unusual internal party strains, with prominent Trump allies like Marjorie Taylor Greene breaking ranks to support the measure.

Trump has consistently framed the controversy as a political attack aimed at damaging him. He has never been charged with any crime related to Epstein, though recently released emails have drawn renewed attention to their past association. The president has also directed the Justice Department to open a new inquiry into Epstein’s ties to prominent Democrats.

Critics worry this new investigation could be used to classify more documents and delay public disclosure. Supporters of the transparency bill see it as a non-partisan effort for justice, focused on survivors and accountability regardless of political affiliation. The White House, however, maintains Trump is fulfilling a campaign promise to expose Epstein’s network.

The House is expected to vote on the bill soon, with supporters confident it will pass. Its fate in the Senate remains uncertain. If it passes both chambers, Trump would need to sign it into law, formally cementing his public support for the release.

Trump’s reversal highlights the political pressure he faces from within his coalition. He has expressed confidence the files will not implicate him, urging his party to stop discussing Epstein and instead focus on promoting its achievements.
