So trump recently reversed his position:
BUT we know this is bullshit because he could simply order the DOJ to release the files - so the question is what does he have up his sleeve? I can think of several things:
a) senate block a vote
b) DOJ declare there are active investigation and files can't be released
c) mystery fire destory just the Epstein files
d) DOJ forge documents with Trump name
e) certain files are declared top secret for national interest and can't be released.
In truth i suspect a or b are most likely but we all know Trump is full of shit.
