Trump now backs House vote to release Epstein files
Hindustan Times Thane
|November 18, 2025
US President Donald Trump said on Sunday he backed lawmakers’ efforts to release more files related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, despite previous opposition to the measure.
“House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.
The 79-year-old Republican has accused Democrats of pushing an “Epstein hoax” after emails emerged in which the disgraced financier suggested Trump “knew about the girls”.
Some critics have accused Trump of trying to conceal details about his own alleged wrongdoing — something the president denies — by looking to block the vote.
