President Donald Trump made it unmistakably clear on Monday that he fully supports Congress voting to release the Epstein files, in both the House and the Senate, and he’ll sign the bill the moment it hits his desk.
But he also delivered a sharp warning: Republicans must not allow this Democrat-fueled circus to overshadow the historic achievements his administration is racking up for the American people.
The Gateway Pundit reported on Sunday that President Donald unleashed a blistering statement demanding that House Republicans immediately vote to release the Epstein files, blasting Democrats for weaponizing the scandal as a distraction from his administration’s historic achievements.
“House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because 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, including our recent Victory on the Democrat ‘Shutdown,’” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
He added, “The Department of Justice has already turned over tens of thousands of pages to the Public on ‘Epstein,’ are looking at various Democrat operatives (Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, etc.) and their relationship to Epstein, and the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to, I DON’T CARE!”
During an exchange with reporters at the Oval Office on Monday, Trump said without hesitation that the House and Senate should vote to release the files.
Once again, he slammed the Democrats who associated with the late pedophile, stating, “All of his friends were Democrats. You look at this Reid Hoffman, you look at Larry Summers, Bill Clinton—they went to his island all the time, and many others, who are all Democrats.”
This comes as the House prepares to vote on Representatives Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie’s (R-KY) Epstein Files Transparency Act today after their discharge petition to force a vote reached the required 218 signatures.
Massie, Khanna, and Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) are scheduled to hold a press conference later this morning outside of the House of Representatives.
BREAKING: @RepThomasMassie & my discharge petition now has the 218 signatures needed to force a vote on our bill to release the full Epstein files.

WATCH:
Reporter: Something that you posted on Truth Social last night—you urged House Republicans to vote in favor of this Epstein release bill they’re going to vote on tomorrow. I just want to be super clear on your position. Do you want to see that pass the Senate? Would you sign that bill if it gets to your desk?
Trump: I do want to—here’s what I want. We have nothing to do with Epstein; the Democrats do. All of his friends were Democrats. You look at this Reid Hoffman, you look at Larry Summers, Bill Clinton—they went to his island all the time, and many others, who are all Democrats.
All I want is I want for people to recognize the great job that I’ve done on pricing, on affordability—because we brought prices way down, but they’re going way lower—on energy, on ending eight wars, and another one coming pretty soon, I believe. We’ve done a great job, and I hate to see that deflect from the great job we’ve done.
So, I’m all for it. You know, we’ve already given 50,000 pages—you do know that. Unfortunately, like with the Kennedy situation, with the Martin Luther King situation—not to put Jeffrey Epstein in the same category—but no matter what we give, it’s never enough. You know, with Kennedy, we gave everything, and it wasn’t enough.
With Martin Luther King, we gave everything, and it’s never enough. We’ve already given, I believe the number is 50,000 pages—50,000 pages—and it’s just a “Russia, Russia, Russia” hoax as it pertains to the Republicans.
Now, I believe that many of the people that we—some of the people that we mentioned—are being looked at very seriously for their relationship to Jeffrey Epstein, but they were with him all the time. I wasn’t. I wasn’t at all.
And we’ll see what happens. What I just don’t want Epstein to do is detract from the great success of the Republican Party, including the fact that the Democrats are totally blamed for the shutdown.
You know, they cost our country hundreds of billions of dollars with that, and a lot of inconvenience. So, I’m for any—they can do whatever they want; give them everything.
Reporter: You would sign it?
Trump: Sure, I would. Let them—let the Senate look at it, let anybody look at it—but don’t talk about it too much because, honestly, I don’t want to take it away from us. It’s really a Democrat problem.
The Democrats were Epstein’s friends—all of them—and it’s a hoax. The whole thing is a hoax, and I don’t want to take it away from, really, the greatness of what the Republican Party has accomplished over the last period of time.
