Trump is now claiming he has “nothing to hide” and that Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files.
The only reason Congress is voting on the Epstein files is because Trump and the DOJ have been blocking their release.

The only reason the house was voting was because he refused.
This is an obviously cynical ploy and major news outlets are running whole pieces without pointing this out. He could release them tonight.
