U.S. President Donald Trump has announced he would sign a bill to release documents related to Jeffrey Epstein if it passes through Congress. This marks a shift in Trump's stance, as he previously opposed the legislation until it gained enough support to likely pass in the House of Representatives.

The proposed bill would require the Department of Justice to make all unclassified documents concerning Epstein public. It is expected to be voted on in the House this week. If approved, it would then need to pass the Republican-controlled Senate before reaching Trump's desk for his signature.

When asked about the bill on Monday, Trump stated, "Sure I would," indicating his willingness to sign it. He added, "I would let the Senate look at it. Let anybody look at it. But don't talk about it too much because honestly, I don't want to take it away from us."

Trump characterized the Epstein issue as a problem for Democrats, claiming, "The Democrats were Epstein's friends, all of them. And it's a hoax, the whole thing is a hoax."

The bill was introduced in July by Republican Thomas Massie and Democrat Ro Khanna. It gained momentum after three Republican women—Marjorie Taylor Greene, Nancy Mace, and Lauren Boebert—joined Democrats in signing a petition to force a vote. This development occurred after the White House was unable to convince any Republicans to withdraw their support for the bill.

Trump's support for the bill has led to a public dispute with Greene, who has been one of his staunchest allies in Congress. Trump referred to Greene as "wacky" and a "traitor," while she expressed concern that his comments were putting her in danger.

The issue gained renewed attention last week following the release of emails in which Epstein discussed his connections with Trump. In one email, Epstein referred to Trump as "the dog that hasn’t barked" and suggested, "You see, I know how dirty Donald is."

On social media, Trump urged House Republicans to vote for the bill, asserting, "We have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics."

He emphasized that the focus should remain on the Republican Party's achievements, including economic successes and military rebuilding, rather than on the Epstein controversy. Trump stated, "Nobody cared about Jeffrey Epstein when he was alive, and if the Democrats had anything, they would have released it before our Landslide Election Victory."

The House is expected to vote on the Epstein Files Transparency Act on Tuesday. If it passes, the Senate will also need to vote before it can be sent to Trump for approval. Support for the bill has reportedly increased among Republicans, despite concerns about potential backlash from Trump.
