President Donald Trump made a stunning eleventh-hour reversal over the weekend, encouraging House Republicans to vote in favor of legislation to release the full Jeffrey Epstein files, an effort he previously sought to quash.
But a provision included in the bill could still enable the president to block the publication of the documents, including those pertaining to himself and his relationship with the late sexual predator.
While the House of Representatives overwhelmingly approved the bill Tuesday, upping the pressure on the Senate to follow suit, Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.), a loyal supporter-turned-target of Trump, said the “real test” lies ahead.
“The real test will be, will the Department of Justice release the files, or will it all remain tied up in investigations? Will the CIA release the files? Will ... a judge in New York release the information?” she asked Tuesday.
Trump could have already asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to release the full trove of documents the Justice Department holds on Epstein.
