“United States President Donald Trump has called on Congress to make public additional files related to the notorious late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, in a reversal of his earlier opposition to the documents’ release. ‘House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide,’ Trump wrote late Sunday on his Truth Social platform. … Trump’s shift comes as a growing number of Republican lawmakers have joined Democrats to back legislation that would compel the US Justice Department to unseal all remaining Epstein-related records. Democrats and a handful of Republicans reached 218 signatures on Wednesday to force a floor vote on a bill to release the files within 30 days. The Epstein Files Transparency Act appears poised to clear the House of Representatives, although its prospects in the Senate remain uncertain.” (11/17/25)
