President Trump has changed his mind on releasing all the files related to Jeffrey Epstein, a wealthy financier who was accused of running a sex trafficking ring. Just last week, Mr. Trump had said he wanted all the records from the US Department of Justice on Epstein's dealings, which could potentially implicate him in some capacity.
However, it now appears that he has walked back those comments, saying the House should vote to force the Justice Department to release all of its files on Epstein. The move comes after Nancy Cordes reported that Mr Trump had expressed frustration with the Justice Department over not releasing more documents on Epstein sooner.
The reversal is seen as a significant shift in stance from Mr. Trump's earlier comments, and raises questions about whether he is now trying to distance himself from his previous statements or if there has been some new information that has changed his mind.
Mr. Trump had initially called for the release of all the records on Epstein after Nancy Cordes reported that she had received documents showing that the Justice Department was withholding thousands of pages of documents related to Epstein's case.
The move is a significant development in the ongoing saga surrounding Epstein, who died in August while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. The Epstein case has sparked widespread outrage and calls for greater transparency from government agencies.
It remains to be seen what this shift in stance by Mr Trump means for the Epstein case and whether it will lead to any new developments or breakthroughs in the investigation.

he was like "oh yeah let's release all epstein files" last week, but now it's like "nah I changed my mind". is he trying to get out of this one or did new info come in? 
i heard there were some pretty shady deals involving epstein that could put trump in a bit of hot water. either way, this is getting juicy 
. He initially said he wanted all the records but now it's like "hey, someone else should do my work for me" 
. I think it's weird that he's trying to distance himself from his previous comments after just last week... it feels kinda fishy 
. Anyway, I hope they finally get some answers about what went down with Epstein and his connections to trump, our justice system needs transparency 
.
. What if he's not actually trying to get more info out, but rather just trying to salvage his rep? 
Anyway, this whole thing is super frustrating - Epstein's victims deserve justice! 
maybe there's some new info that came out or maybe he just doesn't wanna be associated with epstein anymore 
either way, this saga needs to wrap up ASAP 
I'm still not buying this whole thing...
. seems like he might be trying to save his own skin or something... but honestly who knows what's really going through that dude's head 
. One minute he's all for transparency, next he's backpedaling like crazy. I think this is just a case of him trying to save his own skin – we all know he's got some skeletons in those vaults 
. The more I hear about Epstein, the more I'm convinced that Trump knew way more than he's letting on. This whole thing stinks and it'll be interesting to see how far down this rabbit hole goes 
...
. It's like he's trying to change his mind before we can even wrap our heads around what's happening 
The Epstein case is a big deal, and it needs some real answers, not just empty promises 
. Can't we just get to the bottom of things already? 
This whole situation is getting weirder by the minute 
.
. This is just another example of him trying to cover his own behind... And honestly, I'm so done with this whole saga. Can't we just get some real answers already?! 
Anyway, I'm just keeping an eye on this whole thing because I think there might be more to it than meets the eye...
it seems like he's trying to distance himself from his previous statements, but maybe there's something new we don't know about? my friend's cousin is a journalist and they said the Trump team might be trying to spin this to make themselves look better... idk, maybe I'm just overthinking it
