On his social media platform Truth Social, Trump called on GOP lawmakers to “vote to release the Epstein files,” writing that the “House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to.” It’s this phrasing, however, that (journalist Adam) Cochran highlighted as a “red flag.”

“The Oversight Committee is allowed to get information from the [Justice Department] on ‘active’ cases that the rest of Congress cannot get. BUT, a number of different rules allow the DOJ to withhold information ‘at their discretion’ without even informing Oversight,” Cochran wrote Monday in a social media post on X.

“So by saying ‘Oversight’ can have ‘what they are legally entitled to,’ Trump is saying he intends to have DOJ provide Oversight selective files and withhold the rest under ‘active investigation’ terms – possibly without even revealing that to Oversight.”
