YouTube Description
as posted by the channelPresident Trump reversed course over the weekend, now telling House Republicans to vote to demand the release of Justice Department files on the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein "because we have nothing to hide."
In a Truth Social post Sunday evening, he again called the issue a "Democrat Hoax" intended to "deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party." Trump and his GOP allies have resisted this for months, but a bipartisan group of House lawmakers has already collected enough support to force a vote on the release of the files, which is expected on Tuesday.
It's unclear whether the Senate would take up the issue. Trump would have to sign off on the release if it does pass both chambers.
