Congress Orders Trump to Release the Epstein Files
By: Michael Barbaro (The New York Times)
Yeah, I don't believe that's the headline Trump wanted to see.

Congressional Republicans on Tuesday overwhelmingly approved a bill to release all of the files related to the sex offender Jeffrey Epstein — a bill that President Trump spent months trying to kill.
The Times correspondents Anni Karni and Carl Hulse explain how a rebellion started by a handful of Republican lawmakers became a partywide mutiny, and Representative Thomas Massie talks about his role in bringing about the vote.

Trump forced to submit to the Will of the People. Betcha it's gonna be hell for the White House staff for a few days.
Gonna be harder on the Dems when the dust finally settees
Maybe, but we'll need to wait to see what the DOJ holds back due to their policy of not releasing records that could impact ongoing investigations. They did just open a new investigation on some Dems.
Trump will do anything in an attempt to shift blame. That being said, I couldn't care less what political party these perverts are in, they need to pay. As Cheech Marin said, "Bailiff, whack his pee-pee!".
Why do you think the grassroots MAGA wanted the files released? Do you think Kash Patel was demanding the Epstein info be released to 'get Trump'?
I don't think so, after they elected 2 pedophiles president, they just naturally expect their leaders to be pedophiles.
Trump's FBI has had the files long enough that I imagine they have been scrubbed to the point that the pussy grabbing rapist probably looks like a choir-boy.
I believe the same. With his his back-n-forth of release, don't release, now release I think it's either one of two things
A. He had a moment of acceptance that he can't stop it so let it fly
B. The files have been scrubbed cleaner than the tongues of Catholic school kids who used bad words
I mean, MAGA wants them released because they think it's another "own the libs" moment where the files are full of elite democrats. Other side wants it released to "wake up (and stick it to) MAGA" and prove the depth of Trump sleeziness... The underheard folks doesn't care whose names are in there, they ALL need to be placed under the jail.
Meanwhile, Trump is hosting MBS getting their story straight. Just a couple of pedos hanging out.
Trump told Republicans to go ahead and vote for it.
Two points:
1) If he really wants to release the files, he can. They are in his custody. He doesn't need to wait for Congress to force him.
2) Telling R's to vote for it might be a sign that all of the delay gave his corrupt underlings enough time to edit whatever he was afraid of out of the files.
