In a bigly reversal of strategery, Trump on Sunday saw the writing on the wall and instructed his GOP House Clowns to vote to release the Epstein files.

“We have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics in order to deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party,” Trump wrote on Truth Social Sunday night.

To be clear: Trump is only calling for the GOP to release the Epstein files because he was told he’s about to lose 150+ republicans on this vote.

GOP Rep. Thomas Massie said Johnson, Trump and others who have been critical of his efforts would be “taking a big loss this week.”

“I’m not tired of winning yet, but we are winning,” Massie said.

Speaker Johnson said, “We’ll just get this done and move it on. There’s nothing to hide.”

The House is expected to vote tomorrow. There is no guarantee that Senate Republicans will go along.

Coons on Epstein files: "My hunch is that AG Bondi, having just been ordered on social media by the president to open an investigation into a series of high-profile Dems, will promptly say, 'No, there's an ongoing investigation, we can't disclose any of this,' and the president will back that up."

Trump also doubled down on the war with Marjorie Taylor Greene after she offered an olive branch.
