Donald Trump has urged House Republicans to vote to release the files in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a startling reversal after previously fighting the proposal.
The US House is expected to vote this week on legislation that would force the Justice Department to release the files to the public, and any information about the investigation into his death in federal prison.
“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,” Trump wrote on social media late on Sunday.
“I DON’T CARE!” Trump wrote on TruthSocial. “All I do care about is that Republicans get BACK ON POINT.”
Supporters of the measure have enough votes to pass it the House, although it has an unclear future in the Senate.
Trump claimed “some ‘members’ of the Republican Party are being ‘used,’ and we can’t let that happen.”
His comments come amid a fight within the Republican Party over the files, including an escalating row with Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had until now been one of his fiercest supporters.
Politicians who support the bill have been predicting a big win in the House this week with a “deluge of Republicans” voting for it.
In his opposition to the proposal, Trump even reached out to two of the Republican politicians who signed it.
One, Lauren Boebert, met last week with administration officials in the White House Situation Room to discuss it.
The bill would allow information about Epstein’s victims or ongoing federal investigations to be redacted.
Speaker Mike Johnson has suggested the House will decisively back the Epstein bill.
“We’ll just get this done and move it on. There’s nothing to hide,” adding that the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee has been releasing “far more information than the discharge petition, their little gambit.”
The vote comes at a time when new documents are raising fresh questions about Epstein and his associates, including a 2019 email that Epstein wrote to a journalist that said Trump “knew about the girls.”
