President Trump urges Republicans to approve release of DOJ documents on Jeffrey Epstein

The Trump Epstein files story has entered a new phase as President Donald Trump publicly urged House Republicans to approve the release of Department of Justice documents concerning Jeffrey Epstein, the late financier convicted of sexual abuse. Posting on Truth Social, Trump declared, “We have nothing to hide,” marking a clear reversal after months spent trying to block the vote.

Bipartisan Push for Trump Epstein Files Disclosure

The Trump Epstein files are gaining bipartisan attention in Congress. Dozens of Republicans now appear ready to vote alongside Democrats to make the documents public, despite the White House and Speaker Mike Johnson previously attempting to stop the proposal championed by GOP Representative Thomas Massie and Democrat Ro Khanna.

Party Tensions and Political Stakes

Internal divisions in the GOP widened following the release of thousands of emails linked to Epstein, where he alleged Trump “knew about the girls.” While there is no direct evidence implicating Trump, the files have become politically sensitive, straining ties with allies such as Marjorie Taylor Greene. Johnson, advocating “maximum transparency,” acknowledged that many votes in the House would favour disclosure.

The push to release the Trump Epstein files now risks creating tension in the Senate, potentially triggering a presidential veto and further controversy. Trump’s shift appears aimed at unifying the party and reconciling conservative hardliners with moderates. Massie summed it up: “When you think about doing the right thing, it’s pretty clear: you vote in favour.”
