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