There’s no turnaround here.He knew where the vote is going, and then he’ll ask the courts to block the release due to ongoing investigation.
President Trump on Sunday urged House Republicans to back a measure that would compel the Justice Department to release the Epstein files, a sudden reversal after his campaign to tamp down Republican dissent and halt the vote.
Trump Says House Republicans Should Vote to Release Epstein Files
President Trump reversed himself as he faced the prospect that dozens of Republicans could vote this week to compel his administration to release files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Trump basically said academic freedom should only exist for Tucker Carlson, America's greatest normalizer of antisemitism who isn't Elon Musk.
I'm no lawyer, but when the president is defending the elevation of literal Hitler lovers, no one should ever take anything his regime says, pretending to care about antisemitism, seriously. Hope every university in America gets that.

Here is Cuomo “othering” Mamdani, on Fox. Might as well be Trump on Obama. Or the old woman who needed the mic taken from her by McCain.
So here's Andrew Cuomo reacting to Maria Bartiromo wondering if Mamdani will "change the look of New York" and have Muslim women "completely covered up," telling her that Mamdani "doesn't understand New York culture" because he has "dual citizenship" and "he's a citizen of Uganda."
