President Donald Trump in a Truth Social message posted Sunday evening told House Republicans they “should” vote to release the Epstein files, stressing that “we have nothing to hide.”
The president has variously called the controversy surrounding the Epstein files a “Democrat hoax” while also ordering U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate high-profile Democrats, including former President Bill Clinton and former Treasury Secretary Larry Summers.
He also heavily criticized House Republicans who announced their intent to vote for the release of all files as “very bad, or stupid,” but on Sunday appeared to change his tune when he told House Republicans they “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 accused Democrats of focusing on the Epstein files “in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party,” including “our recent Victory on the Democrat ‘Shutdown.'”
He also said “the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to, I DON’T CARE! All I do care about is that Republicans get BACK ON POINT,” such as dealing with the affordability, inflation, prices, tax cuts, and other economic issues.
“Some “members” of the Republican Party are being “used,” and we can’t let that happen. 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!” the president wrote.
