US President Donald Trump has urged Republicans to vote for a bill that would force the Justice Department to release all files on Jeffrey Epstein. This marks a reversal from his earlier stand. Trump wrote that Republicans “have nothing to hide” and should help end what he called a “Democrat hoax”. Thousands of Epstein documents were released last week, with a few mentioning Trump. The White House said the leaks were selective and meant to smear him. Pressure to release all files has grown among both Democrats and Republicans. The bill is likely to pass in the House, but the Senate outcome is unclear. (PC: Reuters)
