This comes as Republicans are pushing legislation that includes potential sanctions on countries that conduct business with Russia, potentially including Iran.

Trump’s change of heart comes after the House Oversight Committee released thousands of documents, and emails within those documents suggested he may have had more detailed knowledge of Epstein’s activities than previously claimed. Trump’s plea to release the files was an attempt to redirect focus toward Republican achievements.
