WASHINGTON (AP) — President Donald Trump said House Republicans should vote to release the files in the Jeffrey Epstein case, a startling reversal after previously fighting the proposal as a growing number of those in his own party supported it.
“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,” Trump wrote on social media late Sunday after landing at Joint Base Andrews following a weekend in Florida.
Trump’s statement followed a fierce fight within the GOP over the files, including an increasingly nasty split with Georgia Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who had long been one of his fiercest supporters.
Donald! You can just tell the DOJ to release them. You campaigned on releasing them, so just do it. They don’t need to vote on it if you just do it.
Let’s all mentally prepare ourselves for Trump to claim he wishes he could release these documents but his gosh darn DOJ just won’t do it because they’re using them to investigate Bill Clinton or whoever and he certainly wouldn’t ever want to interfere with a federal investigation
Don’t give em ideas.
