image for Trump says House Republicans should vote to release Epstein files in stunning reversal: ‘Nothing to hide’

President Trump said Sunday that House Republicans should vote to release any and all files related to late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — after previously trying to dissuade the GOP from backing a measure that would force just that outcome.

The House is expected to vote Tuesday on legislation that would compel the Justice Department to make public all materials related to the notorious case.

The vote will happen despite the opposition of GOP leadership after a so-called “discharge petition” received the required 218 votes last week.

The legislation must also pass the Senate and be signed by Trump himself.

The president gave no indication Sunday night whether he would instruct Senate Republicans to approve the bill or whether he would sign it.

President Trump speaks to reporters before boarding Air Force One at Palm Beach International Airport in West Palm Beach, Fla., on his way back to the White House.

On Wednesday last week, the House Oversight Committee released more than 20,000 pages of documents provided by Epstein’s estate. »

As an unprecedented immigration crackdown enters a third month, a growing number of Chicago residents are fighting back against what they deem a racist and aggressive overreach of the federal government.

They say their efforts — community patrols, rapid responders, school escorts, vendor buyouts, honking horns and blowing whistles — are a uniquely Chicago response that other cities President Donald Trump has targeted for federal intervention want to model.

“We train and we let go, and the people of Chicago are the ones who run with it,” said organizer Jill Garvey. »
