(Crankers) President Donald Trump says SCREW IT and tells Republicans to go for it – vote on releasing the Epstein documents and get it over with!
Trump was being somewhat chill on the Epstein documents and didn’t seem interested in it anymore, but now he has reversed his previous stance on the release of documents connected to Jeffrey Epstein’s network, publicly urging House Republicans to vote in favor of making the files public. The shift comes after months of mixed messages from the White House and growing pressure from lawmakers and the public.
According to a Reuters report published on November 17, 2025, Trump told House Republicans they should “vote to release the Epstein files,” saying the country “has nothing to hide.” The comment marked a notable change from earlier remarks in which Trump had dismissed the release as irrelevant or politically motivated.
Just one day earlier, Trump said in a social-media post that he “doesn’t care” whether the Epstein records are released, describing the topic as a “distraction” and redirecting attention toward Democrats and public figures also mentioned in the documents. Coverage from People magazine noted that Trump listed individuals such as Bill Clinton and Reid Hoffman as people whose connections should draw more attention.
For months, Trump and his administration had resisted calls for a full release of the documents. Several prior statements from the White House suggested that further investigation into the files was unnecessary, and at one point Trump characterized the situation as a “hoax” pushed by political opponents. Reporting from The Washington Post earlier in the year outlined the administration’s reluctance to revisit earlier DOJ conclusions on the case.
The pivot toward supporting a release appears tied to increasing pressure from members of Congress across both parties, as well as intensified public scrutiny following newly unsealed communications and whistleblower claims. Trump’s critics argue the shift is strategic, noting it comes at a moment when questions about his own connections to Epstein have re-entered public debate. Supporters say the move reflects a commitment to transparency.
The FBI and Department of Justice have not issued any new statements regarding how a document release would be handled. House leadership has said a vote on the matter is expected soon, though no date has been finalized.
Trump went from downplaying the Epstein file release to publicly encouraging House Republicans to go forward with it. The change follows political pressure, growing public interest, and new reporting connected to Epstein’s network. The final decision now rests with Congress, which is preparing for an upcoming vote.
And I say this – what’s taking so long? Get as much information out there as possible and let the cards fall where they may. It could be a huge story coming up or a disastrous nothingburger. Guess we will wait and see!
