Must’ve finished scrubbing his name from them.

Edit: Maybe it’s a “I’d release them if I could, but the investigations prevent me” situation.

    So what exactly is preventing them from releasing not just redacted but heavily edited “Epstein files” where they removed any hint of Trump and added a few additional democrat names for good measure? They’ve certainly had enough time to create something like that.

        To play the devil’s advocate, it’s certainly possible Trump publicly supports the House voting to release the original documents because he either 1) has ironclad assurance that it’ll die in the Senate, or 2) will just pocket veto the bill. There was substantial political downside to them opposing their release, and many many ways for them to kill this whole thing in the future.

        Trump doesn’t want the files released, but their Legislative Affairs and Communications Director finally woke up to a strategy that wasn’t political suicide.
