In reply to the discussion: Another possible explanation of why Trump is now supporting the release of the Epstein Files: [View all]D_Master81

I see so many people on here and Facebook saying that theyve got Trumps name redacted outta the files enough now so hes in favor of it. But Im inclined to think thats not the case. I would imagine that theres too many people that have seen the files that would know if theyve been doctored. For me I think its the OPs theory or that hes been told by key Republicans that the votes are there to release them anyhow so he needs to look like hes still in charge of the party.

Trump may have something up his sleeve, but it's pretty disgusting if he has people advising him on this

They will say that they can't release the files because they are now under review for the investigation of Democrats.
