White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was spot on when she said that the emails prove "absolutely nothing other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong." Now, it seems President Trump is trying to backpedal on his stance regarding releasing all unclassified files related to the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.
In a recent Truth Social message, Trump urged House Republicans to support the release of these files, stating they have "nothing to hide" and that it's time to move on from what he described as a "Democrat Hoax." This sudden change in tone comes after the president previously criticized House Republicans who announced their intent to vote for the release of all files, calling them "very bad, or stupid."
Trump's new stance appears to be driven by pressure from some within his own party. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Georgia Republican, has been a vocal advocate for releasing the Epstein files and claims that survivors deserve the truth. Similarly, Representative Nancy Mace of South Carolina expressed her support for the bill after having previously defended President Trump against criticism over his handling of the issue.
It's worth noting that Trump himself has previously accused Democrats of focusing on the Epstein files as a way to deflect from their own shortcomings. However, he now seems to be shifting the focus back onto Republicans, urging them to prioritize more pressing issues such as inflation and tax cuts.
The House is set to hold a vote on the bill on Tuesday, which would then move to the Senate and ultimately to the president's desk. Given Trump's apparent lack of interest in using his veto power, it seems likely that the files will be released, at least partially.
While some may view this development as a victory for transparency and accountability, others may see it as a tactical maneuver by the president to shift attention away from his own controversies. Whatever the motivations behind it, one thing is clear: the Epstein files have been a lightning rod for controversy in Washington, and their release is likely to continue to spark intense debate in the coming days.

. One minute he's all like " Dems are trying to distract us" 
, and the next he's urging his own party to release them, saying they have nothing to hide 
. It's like he's trying to make it a bipartisan issue, but really it just feels like a PR stunt 
.
I don't know, man. All I know is that if those files do get released, it's gonna be a whole mess 
.
. At the end of the day, it's all about transparency and accountability, right? 
So let's just hope that when those files do get released, we'll actually get some real answers 
.
. What do you guys think about Trump's sudden change of heart though? 
. Trump always thinks he can spin a narrative and make himself look good, but sometimes it just comes across as desperate 
He previously said House Republicans were being "bad" or stupid, but now hes urging them to support it? Its like hes trying to shift the focus away from his own mistakes 
. And what really got me is how Marjorie Taylor Greene and Nancy Mace are suddenly coming out in support of releasing those emails... like they werent already on board? 
Anyway, its gonna be interesting to see how this plays out in the House vote 
And honestly, I think this whole thing is gonna get lost in the noise with inflation and tax cuts dominating the headlines... 
.
but anyway back to this news... it seems like Trump's tone has changed so fast like what even? 
he was all "let's move on" one sec and now he's trying to shift the focus back onto Republicans. isn't that kinda weird? 
... and yeah, releasing those files might not be a bad thing even if it's just partially 
... but still, Trump's always good at playing the victim card 
. The question is, what's really driving this change in heart? Is it genuine or just a calculated move to get the heat off himself 
. It's up to us to stay vigilant and keep an eye on what's really going down 
But then you see Marjorie Taylor Greene and Nancy Mace from his own party jumping in and pushing for transparency, and suddenly it's like "oh yeah, let's do this". It's almost like Trump is using them to get the files out, kinda like a proxy... 
But I guess its all about politics and image now 
We're seeing how quickly people can turn on each other when there's a PR opportunity
