President Trump said Sunday that House Republicans should vote to release the files related to late convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — a surprising reversal after previously dissuading the GOP from backing the measure.
“House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party,” he wrote on Truth Social Sunday evening.
A discharge petition for the House to vote to force the Justice Department to release all additional Epstein files received its final signature on Wednesday.
The House voted on the Epstein Files Transparency Act, authored by Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) in July.
All House Democrats and Republican reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, Nancy Mace of South Carolina, and Lauren Boebert of Colorado signed the petition — much to Trump’s ire.
On Wednesday, the House Oversight Committee released more than 20,000 pages of documents provided by Epstein’s estate.
Three emails — from 2011, 2015, and 2019 — among the trove of documents suggested that Trump could have had more detailed knowledge of Epstein’s perversions than previously claimed.
Trump said Friday that he would ask the Department of Justice and FBI to investigate the financier’s “involvement and relationship with Bill Clinton, Larry Summers, Reid Hoffman, J.P. Morgan, Chase, and many other people and institutions, to determine what was going on with them, and him.”
“I DON’T CARE!” he reiterated in his Sunday post. “All I do care about is that Republicans get BACK ON POINT.”
“Nobody cared about Jeffrey Epstein when he was alive and, if the Democrats had anything, they would have released it before our Landslide Election Victory. Some ‘members’ of the Republican Party are being ‘used,’ and we can’t let that happen,” he added.
“Let’s start talking about the Republican Party’s Record Setting Achievements, and not fall into the Epstein ‘TRAP,’ which is actually a curse on the Democrats, not us. MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!”
