President Trump said Sunday that House Republicans should vote to release the files related to late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — a surprising reversal after previously dissuading the GOP from backing the measure.
“House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party,” he wrote on Truth Social Sunday evening.
A discharge petition for the House to vote to force the Justice Department to release all additional Epstein files received its final signature on Wednesday.

From Truth Social
As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the Fake News Media, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party, including our recent Victory on the Democrat “Shutdown.” The Department of Justice has already turned over tens of thousands of pages to the Public on “Epstein,” are looking at various Democrat operatives (Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, etc.) and their relationship to Epstein, and the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to, I DON’T CARE! All I do care about is that Republicans get BACK ON POINT, which is the Economy, “Affordability” (where we are winning BIG!), our Victory on reducing Inflation from the highest level in History to practically nothing, bringing down prices for the American People, delivering Historic Tax Cuts, gaining Trillions of Dollars of Investment into America (A RECORD!), the rebuilding of our Military, securing our Border, deporting Criminal Illegal Aliens, ending Men in Women’s Sports, stopping Transgender for Everyone, and so much more! Nobody cared about Jeffrey Epstein when he was alive and, if the Democrats had anything, they would have released it before our Landslide Election Victory. Some “members” of the Republican Party are being “used,” and we can’t let that happen. Let’s start talking about the Republican Party’s Record Setting Achievements, and not fall into the Epstein “TRAP,” which is actually a curse on the Democrats, not us. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!

“As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the Fake News Media,”
Ugh. He’s funny.
Gutfeld has a bit he does called ‘we don’t deserve him’
What is the stunning reversal?
I love those bits.
What will PBS, MS Now and CNN do to fill the many hours of time all week about “Trump is panicking because bombshells in the Epstein files are going to end his presidency.”?
Maybe “We’re all eating more broccoli. Jennifer has the full story.”
and
“A puppy lost on vacation walked 57 miles and found home. Here’s the story.”
It has to be a "stunning reversal," because the legacy media has been saying PDJT was terrified of a release of the Epstein files.
Damn man I can’t follow him lol
Maybe he’s smelling the coffee
Or he thinks this will cause Dems to vote no
Should just release it all and let folks fight it out
Anything but names of operators stuff like that
Epstein went really deep and way back
Basically a cut out facilitator for hire for anyone
Fostered by early players like Kashoggi
The sex is just part of it
He was damn clever ill give him that
And no Israel though a primary player as a great place to run covert stuff through it’s not about just that
Mike benz really has volumes on this
More than anyone I know
I wish mono dimensional here who think it’s just sexual exploitation or Israel would read or watch his stuff
Maybe Trump was setting them up to put themselves in this pickle all along? If he did then he’s even more of a genius then I thought.
For every Republican that gets exposed there’s probably 10 or 20 democrats on the list.
Do you have a link?
More likely he was running a sting on the Democrats.
I'm with you on that.
Neither the author of this piece, nor many of the commenters on this thread have apparently read yesterday's essay on Americanthinker.com by Clarice Feldman. Even those who only read head-lines ought to get an inkling of what it is about:
She starts:
If you remember the wonderful Song of the South, Br'er Rabbit begs Br'er Fox not to throw him in the bramble bushes, knowing, which fox doesn’t, that he’s safe there in a place where Br'er Fox will be ensnared. After the disastrous Schumer shutdown (which I predict will add impetus to a remake of the SNAP program and the end of the Obama (Un) Affordable Care Act), the Democrats amped up their nonsense about Trump having engaged in wrongdoing with blackmailer and procurer of underage females , Jeffrey Epstein.
Then she brings up the reason why the "dossier" has not been released:
As you may recall, three judges, two of whom were appointed by Obama and one by Clinton, have blocked the Department of Justice from releasing the Epstein grand jury documents to the media.
Basically, DOJ has other more pressing dealings with various judges, but given the behaviour of the Democrats things have changed. Please, read the whole essay. It is fun!
I (and more importantly Clarice Feldman) agree with you. See my post #14.
He just took the wind out of Thomas Massie’s sails.
“Trump read the room.”

Why does this make me think of The Music Man? When you’ve got a mob after you, the best move is to get out in front of them and call it a parade!
Cause Trump changed his tune on Epstein again
It’s hard to keep up with his whims on this one
Campaigned on it a lot
Brought in a team that swore for years we deserved to know
Then abruptly a few months ago says we should move on and it’s old news which all but the 100%ers doubted
The doubters include many if not most public Trump pundits like Benny Johnson and so on
I think he got big pressure likely over Epstein statecraft exposure and lesser due to big name pervs fearful
Now the political calculation may have moved the needle again
But truly even if released who knows if it’s all released
They admit to still holding jfk stuff
It’s the nature of the beast since WWII
Maybe even before
He’s battling MTG
they could be kissy faced each other in a few months lol

One thing for sure Trump is least guilty known quantity with Epsteins stable
Loads of public testimony proving that including his own actions
So he’s never wafflled to save himself
So the pressures have come from elsewhere
