What led to Trump's reversal on releasing Epstein files?

I'm surprised by this sudden change of heart from Trump πŸ€”πŸ’‘. I mean, he's been saying "there's nothing to hide" like it's going to magically make everything okay πŸ˜’. I think the GOP is just trying to save face and avoid taking any real responsibility for their handling of the Epstein scandal πŸ™…β€β™‚οΈ. It's not about transparency or accountability; it's about optics and keeping the party image intact πŸ‘€. Trump's trying to control the narrative, but I'm not convinced this reversal will stick πŸ’”.
 
I'm low-key disappointed πŸ€” but not surprised at all. Like, we all knew the GOP was gonna try and cover their own behinds on this one. It's like they're trying to say "hey, we're just as concerned about Epstein's files as you are" while secretly hoping no one digs up any more dirt that could ruin their party image πŸ™„. And Trump being Trump, he's all like "I'm gonna release the files because I have nothing to hide" but really he's just trying to keep his base happy and placate those pesky Republicans who were getting on his case πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ. I mean, come on guys, if you're so concerned about transparency why not just make the documents public in the first place? It's like you're just trying to play politics instead of doing what's right πŸ™„πŸ˜’.
 
I'm just so worried about the optics of this whole thing πŸ€•. As a parent, I want my kids to have honest and trustworthy leaders in power. And it sounds like Trump is trying to put on a good face now that some of his own party members are giving him grief 😬. But trust me when I say, transparency is hard to fake. Will he really be able to follow through on this promise or was it just a quick fix to get the heat off him? πŸ€”
 
So the repubs are giving trump a hard time over epstein πŸ€”πŸ“... i think its kinda funny how theyre trying to flip the script on him and say hes the one hiding somethin' πŸ˜‚. but seriously, if he's tryin to make it look like hes all about accountability now, idk man... doesnt feel too sincere to me πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

okay so i made a little diagram to show what im thinkin' here:
