It’s not a “reversal” that trump is doing on the House Epstein vote, that’s like saying a football team has a “reversal” of objectives once it’s clear they’re badly losing a game

"At least 100 Republicans are expected to join the Dems in what will be the most significant rebuke of Trump this year. The bill then goes to the Senate, where I am hoping Dems will be able to force an extended debate about Trump and Bondi’s historic, corrupt cover up of this extraordinary scandal."

In a dramatic reversal, Trump now says House Republicans should vote for a measure calling for the release of the Epstein files, essentially a concession that he cannot stop the resolution from being passed. @ashleyahn88.bsky.social www.nytimes.com/live/2025/11...
