US President Donald Trump, under pressure, recommended that members of his Republican Party vote in the House of Representatives to make public the case files of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. It’s time to release the files “because we have nothing to hide,” the Republican wrote on his Truth Social platform.
It’s time to get out of this democratic fraud.

Until now, Trump has firmly opposed disclosing the investigation files on this case. The opposition Democratic Party, but also some Republicans who support Trump, have been pushing for this for months.
While lawmakers voted to end the US shutdown, Epstein’s newly published emails “put Trump under pressure,” said ZDF correspondent David Sauer.

Cross-party request for the file to be released
During the election campaign, Trump promised to fully disclose the Epstein file. However, as these promises have not been kept since he took office in January, pressure on the president has increased. Both Democrats and Republicans have pushed for measures that would require the Justice Department to release more investigative files.
If the House of Representatives approves the disclosure of the information, then the other chamber of the US Congress, namely the Senate, must approve it. The President must then sign it. It’s unclear whether this will happen.
After publishing the birthday letter to Epstein, Trump denied that it came from him. “That doesn’t make sense,” said the US President.

What is the Epstein case about?
Convicted sex offender Epstein was found dead in his New York prison cell in 2019 while awaiting his next trial. According to authorities, he committed suicide. According to the investigation, Epstein had been abusing underage girls and young women for years and passing it on to celebrities.
Many Americans and right-wing influencers suspect that the former financial investor was murdered to prevent him from coming forward against his prominent accomplices. There are many files regarding this case, of which only excerpts are known so far.
Trump’s visit to the UK in September was overshadowed by the Epstein incident.

Trump himself denied having a close relationship with the perpetrator of this sexual crime. However, recently published emails and documents suggest otherwise. Additionally, many videos and photos from previous years show the two millionaires together.
