"House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it's time to move on from this Democrat Hoax,"
"'I'm all for it.'"
"We all ran on this last year, the president did too, and people told him there was no way a lot of us could just break that promise,"
"We were told it wouldn't make the floor - and then all of a sudden he makes this statement and gives us a hall pass, So a lot of us are taking it."
A House vote to release Justice Department investigative files into Jeffrey Epstein prompted President Trump to publicly endorse disclosure and say he would sign the bill if it reaches his desk. Trump posted on Truth Social urging House Republicans to release the files, framing the move as vindication and closure. Four House Republicans defied White House pressure and agreed to vote with Democrats, creating noticeable fractures within the GOP. Several members said campaign promises constrained them and that the president's statement provided political cover. The vote follows recent Republican election losses and reflects rising economic anxiety and intra-party disputes over antisemitism and Israel policy.
