President Trump's sudden reversal on releasing the Epstein files may be a move that puts his own investigation in jeopardy. In a surprise post on Truth Social, Trump urged House Republicans to vote for the release of the files, claiming there is "nothing to hide" and calling the scandal a "Democrat Hoax." This apparent U-turn contradicts his previous order to Attorney General Pam Bondi to investigate prominent Democrats linked to the deceased financier Jeffrey Epstein.
In a statement, Bondi committed to pursuing the investigation with "urgency and integrity," but her words may be in jeopardy if Trump's call is upheld. The Justice Department had previously announced plans to probe the connections between Epstein and former President Bill Clinton and Treasury Secretary Larry Summers, which was seen as a shift away from Trump's initial claim that Democrats were behind the scandal.
Trump's reversal has left many wondering about his motivations and whether he is trying to refocus attention on Democrats once again. The president had previously dismissed the issue, labeling it a "hoax" and blaming perceived enemies. However, with House Republicans set to vote on releasing the files this week, Trump's stance may be seen as an attempt to undermine the investigation.
It remains to be seen how Bondi will proceed with her inquiry, but Trump's call for release has raised questions about whether he is trying to hijack the investigation and shift the focus away from himself.

I'm telling you, something fishy is going on here... Trump's sudden change of heart on releasing those Epstein files is like a masterclass in manipulation 
. One minute he's all about taking down Democrats, the next he's saying "nothing to hide" like it's 1999 again 
. I mean, what's really going on behind closed doors? Is he trying to distract us from his own involvement in the scandal? 
The fact that Bondi is now committed to pursuing the investigation with "urgency and integrity" just seems like a nice little smokescreen to me... Meanwhile, I'm over here watching my popcorn, waiting for someone to spill the tea 
️.
. Trump's motives are still hazy, in my opinion. Maybe he's trying to take the heat off himself or refocus attention on his perceived enemies. House Republicans setting up a vote to release those files is gonna be super interesting... will they go with Trump's call or stick to their guns? 
like what's going on here? he goes from "we're gonna investigate democrats" to suddenly saying there's nothing to hide 
it's so suspicious especially after his initial order to bondi was to look into dems. and now he's trying to make house reps vote for the release of those files which could put bondis whole investigation in jeopardy 
can we please just get some answers from trump himself?!
