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