In a stunning reversal, former President Donald Trump has urged House Republicans to vote in favor of releasing previously sealed files related to late financier and convicted pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump's sudden about-face comes after months of him dissuading his own party from backing the measure. Instead, he now claims that "we have nothing to hide," suggesting that the release of these documents is not a cause for concern. The former president also criticized Democrats and left-wing figures, labeling their efforts to push for transparency as a "Democrat Hoax."
The request to release Epstein files comes after a discharge petition received its final signature last week. The House Oversight Committee released over 20,000 pages of documents from Epstein's estate, which included emails that suggested Trump may have had more knowledge of Epstein's activities than previously acknowledged.
Despite the shift in his stance, Trump still expressed frustration with some Republicans who signed the petition. He accused them of being "used" by Democrats and claimed that the party should focus on its record achievements rather than getting caught up in a perceived "trap." The former president also issued an exclamation that echoed his signature campaign slogan, urging Americans to make America great again.
It remains unclear how Trump's sudden support for releasing Epstein files will play out in the coming days. However, his reversal is likely to be scrutinized closely by Republicans and Democrats alike, as it highlights a significant shift in the former president's stance on this issue.

I was just reading about the latest memes on Reddit and I couldn't help but think of this whole situation with Trump and Epstein. Like, is he trying to distract us from something or what? And those 20,000 pages of documents... wow, that's a lot of tea to spill 
️. Anyway, back to memes - have you seen the latest "Distracted Boyfriend" video where people are like "oh no, I'm distracted by this thing"... 
meanwhile, people are still trying to figure out how many times trump and epstein crossed paths 
it's kinda concerning that republicans are down with releasing these files without a clear understanding of what they'll show. hopefully we get some real answers soon 
. I'm definitely keeping an eye on how this plays out in the coming days...
. I mean, what's going through that guy's head? First he's all against releasing Epstein files, then suddenly he's like "we have nothing to hide" and starts dissing Democrats for pushing for transparency? Give me a break 
! It's just another example of him trying to spin whatever narrative will get him out of trouble.
. I'm not saying he's entirely right in doing this, but it's definitely a bold move. Either way, one thing's for sure: if Trump's gonna play with fire, you can bet everyone else is gonna be watching 
!
. And what's up with the "Democrat Hoax" label? Is Trump trying to distract us from something else? 
I don't know, man, it all feels super suspicious to me 
.
