Trump is also frustrated because he thinks Democrats outmaneuvered the GOP on the debate.
The fast-track movement comes after months of stalling by Republican leaders and immense pressure from the White House to keep a vote from happening.
But Trump, over the last week, realized his vice-like grip over the GOP was not enough to forestall the vote and relented to the “inevitable reality,” the official said. The president changed course Sunday after speaking with many Republicans and concluding dozens of House members planned to cross him.
“The strategy now is give Republicans a perceived win,” the official said. “So they can go back to their districts and say, ‘I voted to release the Epstein files.’”
The president remains frustrated that members of his own party have essentially laid a trap he cannot avoid in part because administration officials insist there is nothing more of substance for them to unveil.
A trove of materials handed over by Epstein’s estate to congressional investigators and released to the public last week included a 2018 email Epstein wrote claiming Trump “knew about the girls,” apparently referring to the underage girls Epstein was accused of trafficking.
Trump has denied wrongdoing in relation to the Epstein allegations, and no evidence has suggested that Trump took part in Epstein’s crimes. The president also has said he and Epstein had a falling out years ago.
Some Trump allies in the House, even those who plan to vote for the bill, agreed the expected vote won’t put the issue to rest.
House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), whose committee issued the subpoena to Epstein’s estate for the files, called further congressional action a “show vote,” adding that “the Department of Justice has turned over what they’re legally allowed to turn over.”
The White House official echoed Comer: “This idea that the federal...”

He’s not worried, a-hole! He just knows sacks of sh*t like Pollutico will wipe the azzes of any demonicRATS who are implicated.

Exactly. If they don’t include Clinton, then the right will claim the same thing. This whole Epstein file thing is a waste of time.
As I underatand the original Ghislaine Maxwell trial, the court found that the only person who abused girls was Epstein. And the only person who procured girls was Maxwell. She procured, he abused. He’s dead. She’s in prison. Case closed. Really, really neatly and perfectly.
But now the discussion is: Is it possible that anyone else was involved? Anyone at all?
Politico says: If anyone else was involved, surely it was Donald Trump.
Clown World.
Perpetual machine of stupidity
Some more fictional narrative by the MORONS at Politico (for hire) to try and shovel more manure back into the dems’ paper bags full of screw ups. They are more crispy daily— and this “article” is full of reverse narration, hit the brakes... “holy sh-——t!” response. Most important they have no juice with what is left of the media— this will have NO legs at all. What will have legs is Plaskett and Ro Khanna in 2019 getting and sending coaching texts from Epstein and to Epstein during realtime cross examination of Michael Cohen the drop face loser fixer who pocketed and split money with the stripper- the same money paid to him by Trump as attorney fees- which they were!!!!
Not long after these textings and demonrat coachings to his partners- Epstein was killed (he did not suicide, sorry Bill Ukrainian Barr of the fake bagpipes converso. not buying it. They looked the other way).
And so, not long after Epstein “doesn’t
I’m pretty sure these damn files have been AI’d. POS and liberal garbage. The fags, pedos and trannies on the left will do anything to get Trump. The liberal hags have all developed menopause. Screaming, crying, whining, tantrums, the whole bit.
The article is trash and typical propaganda from the scumbags at Politico
👍 Agreed. Jessica Tarlov just got her talking points.
She’s why mute buttons were invented
I’d sure love to see that fat A-hole Reid Hoffman go down.
The gaslighting Dim media is pretending that thousands of Epstein file pages haven’t already been released and implicated Dims, not Trump.
Amen. And fast forward. They should call the show The Four And A Half. Even when Harold Ford, Jr. is on.
Clearly Epstein was a long-running Intel/blackmail operation. Even if Mossad were involved, it could NEVER run on US soil without management from FBI and/or CIA.
Trump is telling us he doesn’t fully control, the DOJ/FBI or CIA
And as all “documents” have been in the hands of these people for 20 years, he simply doesn’t trust that the documents are factual. Certainly some documents have been shredded or pulled from the files, others manipulated, and it’s even possible others have been completely faked, manufactured and added later.
It would be absurd to think such a release would provide a true picture.
It won't. The True Believers and conspiracy theorists never accept evidence.
It won’t be enough because there is nothing in it to incriminate Trump.
When it comes to conspiracy theorists, the real evidence that doesn’t prove the wildest conspiracy theories to be true is just all the more proof of a conspiracy and cover up - repeating the cycle.
And, if the FBI destroyed or suppressed evidence in the case, just like it did with Thomas Crooks, then heads to roll at the FBI.
Involved in what? Trafficking underage girls?
Certainly, there were dozens of rich and powerful men involved in raping underage girls. And, the worst offenders need to be held accountable.
And, so do those at the FBI if they were involved in covering up evidence in the case.
All these "victims" aka "prostitutes" have already been paid off...
