"I'll be voting NO on the Epstein Hoax. The Democrats are using the Epstein Hoax to distract us from the winning of President Trump and his administration, Nehls continued, adding: My message to my Republican colleagues: Don't let this noise keep us from delivering on the mandate the American people gave us. President TrumpI stand by you in the fight to save America. I'm not going to let this hoax, manufactured by Democrats, slow us down."
"In a text message on Monday, Nehls said he would now vote to release the Epstein files, given that the president himself has urged Republicans to do so, Karni wrote. Nehls was viewed as potentially the sole Republican holdout to what is shaping up to be a possible unanimous vote to compel the Justice Department to release the files. On social media, Karni wrote, This means [the vote] is likely unanimous as Nehls appeared to be the last holdout in the GOP."
Representative Troy Nehls initially opposed compelling the Justice Department to release the Jeffrey Epstein files, labeling the effort an "Epstein Hoax" and asserting Democrats were using it to distract from President Trump’s victory. Nehls later reversed and said he would vote to release the files after the president urged Republicans to do so, moving the measure toward a likely unanimous House vote. Social media posts and public statements documented the change in position. President Trump said he would sign the bill if presented, maintained that he and his associates had no ties to Epstein, and pointed to prominent Democrats as Epstein associates.
