In a surprising turn of events, President Trump has expressed willingness to sign legislation releasing files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump’s statement came during a press briefing on Monday, where he emphasized that the issue surrounding the files is a “Democrat problem.” This announcement has sparked a wave of reactions and speculation across various media outlets and social platforms.
The New York Times reported that Trump’s decision to support the release of the Epstein files marks a rare retreat for the president. The article highlights the potential embarrassment Trump faced due to the prospect of a defeat on the issue.

CBS News covered Trump’s wide-ranging press briefing, where he addressed questions on Epstein files, Venezuela, the 2026 FIFA World Cup, and more. The report provided context on the president’s remarks, shedding light on the broader implications of his statements.
On the other hand, ABC News focused on the upcoming House vote on the full release of the Epstein files, a move that Congressman Mike Johnson fought for months.

In response to Trump’s announcement, various social media platforms have been abuzz with discussions and reactions. From Mastodon to Reddit, users have been sharing their opinions on the president’s reversal and the implications it may have on the ongoing debate surrounding Epstein’s case.
