President Donald Trump on Sunday publicly called on House Republicans to vote in favor of releasing the full Justice Department files related to Jeffrey Epstein—a notable reversal from his previous attempts to block the effort.

“House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide,” Trump wrote on Truth Social late Sunday.

The shift comes after weeks of behind-the-scenes efforts by the White House and House Speaker Mike Johnson to stop the measure from reaching the floor. As recently as last week, senior officials met with Rep. Lauren Boebert in the White House Situation Room to persuade her to withdraw her support from the discharge petition. She declined, joining three other Republicans and all Democrats to reach the 218 signatures required to force a vote.

Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, the lead GOP co-sponsor, told ABC News’ “This Week” that he expects “a deluge” of Republican support once the bill reaches the floor. Massie framed the vote as a defining test of transparency versus political loyalty.

“I would remind my Republican colleagues,” Massie said, “Donald Trump can protect you in red districts right now with an endorsement. But in 2030, he won’t be president—and if you vote against transparency here, you will have voted to protect pedophiles. The president cannot protect you then. The record of this vote will last longer than Donald Trump’s presidency.”

White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt reiterated last week that previously released emails tied to Epstein “prove absolutely nothing, other than the fact that President Trump did nothing wrong.” Documents made public through civil litigation and the Ghislaine Maxwell trial have not alleged misconduct by Trump.

The president has dismissed the release of those materials as a Democratic “hoax,” accusing “stupid” and “foolish” Republicans of buying into it.

The House is expected to vote on the measure later this week.
