Trump has the power to release the Epstein files, with or without Congress, and that’s the heart of the matter. The whole dance around a congressional vote, the reversals in his public statements – it’s all a carefully orchestrated performance. He doesn’t actually *need* their permission. He has the power, right now, to order the Justice Department to release those files. He could have done it from the start.
This isn’t about legal technicalities; it’s about control and optics. By encouraging a vote, he can then, after it has passed, claim the DOJ is prevented from releasing them because of “an active investigation”.… Continue reading

This change comes amid growing support for the Epstein Files Transparency Act, and is potentially due to the expectation of many Republicans voting in favor already.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says fallout with Trump ‘has all come down to the Epstein files’. It’s a statement loaded with implications, and it’s easy to see why it’s generating a lot of discussion. The core of the matter seems to be a shift in perspective, or perhaps a tactical repositioning, by Greene regarding her relationship with the former president.
It appears the potential release of the Epstein files is the breaking point.
