Overview
- Trump shifted course and urged House Republicans to support releasing Epstein investigative records, writing on Truth Social that “we have nothing to hide.”
- The House is preparing a plenary vote this week to direct the Justice Department to turn over all Epstein‑related materials, with privacy protections and potential redactions for victims and sensitive investigations.
- Final disclosure still depends on Senate approval and subsequent executive‑branch cooperation before additional records could be made public.
- The push follows the Oversight Committee’s release of more than 20,000 pages from Epstein’s estate, including an email to Michael Wolff claiming Trump “knew about the girls,” a disputed assertion that has heightened scrutiny.
- The fight has widened a GOP rift as Trump revoked support for Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene over her transparency push; she reported threat warnings, apologized for contributing to “toxic” rhetoric, and reiterated her call to release the records.
