Why Trump suddenly called for Epstein files to be released | DW News

US President Trump is calling on Republicans to vote to release files related to the convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. This is a true Trump 180. Trump has spent months resisting bipartisan efforts to force the Justice Department to release the records. But the push to publish kept growing. Dozens of Republicans have threatened to break ranks – signalling they are ready to vote with Democrats to release the documents. Apparently, the pressure made the president and House Speaker Mike Johnson blink.
