"That vote is expected to happen Tuesday. On Sunday night, Trump called for House Republicans to vote in favor of releasing the Epstein documents "because we have nothing to hide, and it's time to move on from this Democrat Hoax." On Monday, Trump doubled-down, saying he would sign a bill if it came to his desk. "Let the Senate look at it," Trump said."
"Where are the Epstein files now? The Epstein files, a series of documents, images and information related to the Department of Justice's criminal probe into Epstein. Trump controls the Justice Department and could release the documents without Congress' approval. Many of these Epstein files have been released by the DOJ and Congress. Republicans and Democrats on the House Oversight Committee have released batches of documents over the last few months."
"Zoom in: Reps. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.) and Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) introduced a petition in July that would force a vote to require the DOJ to release all the files. Rep. Adelita Grijalva's (D-Ariz.) became the final signature needed for the petition after she was sworn into Congress after the end of the government shutdown. Many expected the House to wait until after Thanksgiving to set a vote on the files' release, but it was move"
No credible allegations of wrongdoing by Trump exist in the Epstein case. The House is expected to vote Tuesday on a petition to force DOJ release of Epstein files. Trump urged House Republicans to support releasing the files and said he would sign a bill if presented, while the measure would still require Senate approval. Trump controls the Justice Department and could release files without Congress. Many Epstein documents have already been released by the DOJ and Congress. Democrats released emails alleging Trump 'knew about the girls' and Republicans released thousands more. Reps. Massie and Khanna led the petition; Rep. Grijalva provided the final signature.
