New York Times: Trump "could have ordered the release of the files without an act of Congress, and has not"

Did you know Trump doesn't need Congress to vote for the release of the Epstein files?
Trump could order his Attorney General to release them. He' doesn't want them out there.

"It’s not clear that doing so would have any concrete impact; Mr. Trump could have ordered the release of the files without an act of Congress, and has not. And it remains to be seen whether his Justice Department will ultimately release the files."

Will say they can't release the files because of an ongoing investigation (that Trump ordered). This is all for show for his poorly educated base. And they will swallow.
