Breaking News: Trump Demands House Republicans Unseal Epstein Files
US President Donald Trump has made a sudden shift in his stance, calling on House Republicans to vote to release the Epstein files. Trump made the demand on Truth Social on Sunday night, stating "House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide."
This reversal comes as the House is expected to hold a vote this week on legislation that would force the Justice Department to release the files to the public. The proposal has gained momentum, with supporters claiming they have enough votes to pass the House. However, it remains unclear whether the measure would pass the Senate.
The Epstein files in question are documents related to the case of Jeffrey Epstein, a financier accused of sex trafficking and pedophilia. Democrats and some Republicans have been pushing for the release of these documents, citing public interest and transparency.
The shift in Trump's position is significant, as it appears to have gained him support from potentially dozens of Republicans. Representative Thomas Massie, a co-sponsor of the bill, estimates that up to 100 Republicans could vote in favor of the proposal.
The House vote is expected to take place this week, with the outcome hanging in the balance. If the measure passes, it would be a major development in the Epstein case and could have significant implications for the Justice Department.
This is a developing story, and we will provide updates as more information becomes available.
