Trump reverses course, says Republicans should vote to release Epstein files
www.abc.net.au
President Donald Trump has called on his fellow Republicans in Congress to vote for the release of files related to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

Must’ve finished scrubbing his name from them.

Edit: Maybe it’s a “I’d release them if I could, but the investigations prevent me” situation.

    Or someone finally explained that the discharge petition only allows for unclassified releases… Meaning Bondi can decide what should be released or not.

      True, I did not think of that. Trump’s new favorite tactic seems to be doing (or saying that he will do) the thing that everybody wants, but then complaining that his hands are tied by the courts or the law, even though neither of those things prevent him from breaking the law when it suits him. “Oops, sorry, we so badly wanted to release the full unredacted Epstein files but the law says we can’t gosh golly darnit, what a bummer, you saw that I supported it, but it’s these activist judges that are preventing the truth from getting out!”

      Bondi is 100% running cover for him if they do get released.
