DEVELOPING: Trump Urges House Republicans to Immediately Release Epstein Files

Breaking News: Trump Urges House Republicans to Release Epstein Files US President Donald Trump has called on House Republicans to vote to release files relating to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump made the request on Sunday night, stating that Republicans should do so "because we have nothing to hide." This sudden reversal comes after weeks of Trump dismissing the clamour for a vote on the release as a Democratic-driven distraction. The move is seen as a significant shift in Trump's stance on the issue. The files in question have been slowly released by House Democrats, some of which reference Trump, who has consistently denied any link to Epstein's sex abuse and trafficking. Details of his past relationship with Epstein have fueled speculation and led to a public spat with one of Trump's staunchest supporters. Potentially dozens of Republicans have signaled they are willing to break ranks and vote in favor of a bill that would compel the US government to publish all its documents on Epstein. With supporters of the bill appearing to have enough votes for it to pass the House, the outcome is now uncertain. This is a developing story, and we will continue to provide updates as more information becomes available.
