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.

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.
