“As I said on Friday night aboard Air Force One to the Fake News Media,\u00a0House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files<\/strong>, because\u00a0we have nothing to hide<\/strong>, and it\u2019s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax perpetrated by Radical Left Lunatics,” Trump posted to Truth Social. “The Department of Justice has already turned over tens of thousands of pages to the Public on \u201cEpstein,\u201d are looking at various Democrat operatives (Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman, Larry Summers, etc.) and their relationship to Epstein, and the House Oversight Committee can have whatever they are legally entitled to,\u00a0I DON\u2019T CARE!”\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Except he cared enough to excommunicate Massie and MTG for wanting the public to know which elites were likely ensnared in a honeypot operation, while both Reps. have also been highly critical of Israeli influence in US politics.\u00a0And based on widespread condemnation among the base, Trump clearly miscalculated.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Trump did the whole ‘release them, I don’t care’ thing earlier this year<\/strong>\u00a0after failing to follow through on a core campaign promise, and instead giving a handful of influencers binders full of old information.<\/p>\n “Let\u2019s start talking about the Republican Party\u2019s Record Setting Achievements, and not fall into the Epstein \u201cTRAP,\u201d which is actually a curse on the Democrats, not us,” Trump’s ‘truth’ continues.<\/p>\n Following his attacks on Greene,\u00a0<\/strong>Trump denied her claim that his criticism endangered her – and that he didn’t believe her when she said people are targeting her.<\/p>\n “I don’t think her life is in danger…I don’t think anybody cares about her,” Trump told reporters before boarding Air Force One on Sunday night for a return to Washington DC from Mar-a-Lago in Florida.<\/p>\n Greene, a U.S. House of Representatives member from Georgia who was long known as a Trump loyalist, has recently taken positions at odds with the president.\u00a0She said on Saturday she has been contacted by private security firms warning about her safety\u00a0<\/strong>and that harsh attacks against her have previously resulted in death threats.<\/em><\/p>\n She attributed her split with the president to\u00a0her support for releasing records related to the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein<\/strong>. -Reuters<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n Massie, meanwhile,<\/strong>\u00a0cast doubt on the DOJ’s\u00a0new<\/em>\u00a0investigation into Epstein’s ties to notable Democrats – calling it a “a last-ditch effort to prevent the release of the Epstein files.”<\/p>\n “So, this might be a big smokescreen, these investigations, to open a bunch of them to, as a last-ditch effort to prevent the release of the Epstein files,” Massie said, after Trump directed AG Pam Bondi and the FBI to look into Epstein’s relationship with former President Bill Clinton and various other Democrats – writing on Truth Social “This is another Russia, Russia, Russia Scam, with all arrows pointing to the Democrats.”<\/p>\n Meanwhile,\u00a0Massie’s position has caused a<\/strong>\u00a0rift\u00a0<\/strong>between Trump supporters who seemingly don’t want the Epstein files released,\u00a0and those who\u00a0do<\/em>\u00a0want them released – with Pro vs. Anti Zionism seemingly the common denominator.<\/p>\n This is literally accurate, dude. You vote against the release of the files, you\u2019re voting to protect pedophiles.<\/p>\n \u2014 Impure Hoonter \ud83c\uddfa\ud83c\uddf8 \u262d\u20e0 (@Bl00dOld)\u00a0November 16, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n As we\u00a0noted<\/a>\u00a0on Saturday, Massie isn’t just a signatory of the petition to release the files, but its principal champion<\/strong>, having introduced it this summer along with Democratic California Rep. Ro Khanna. When Speaker Mike Johnson finally brought the House back into session this week after nearly two months of idleness,\u00a0Massie secured the required 218th signature on the Epstein-file discharge petition<\/strong>, a parliamentary avenue that overrides Johnson’s ability to determine which bills are voted upon. When the vote on Massie’s bill takes place on\u00a0Tuesday<\/a>, a far larger number of\u00a0Republicans are expected to vote for it<\/a>, rather than face subsequent attacks for voting to keep the Epstein files under wraps.<\/p>\n Trump’s announcement came days after the House Oversight Committee released\u00a0tens of thousands of emails<\/strong>\u00a0handed over by the Epstein estate – which made clear that\u00a0Trump and Epstein were pals, had a falling out, and then Epstein started helping Democrats ‘get Trump’ –\u00a0<\/strong>including\u00a0texting in real time<\/a>\u00a0with lawmaker Stacey Plaskett (D-Virgin Islands)\u00a0during a 2019 congressional hearing with Michael Cohen…<\/strong><\/p>\n Plaskett, for those who didn’t know, previously served in the Virgin Islands government – helping to give Epstein tax benefits, and worked for Epstein’s fixer on the island before she was elected to Congress.<\/p>\n Also interesting – Trump weighed in on the controversy surrounding Tucker Carlson’s interview of “America First” host\u00a0Nick Fuentes, saying “you can’t tell him who to interview…\u00a0if he wants to interview Nick Fuentes,<\/strong>\u00a0I don’t know much about him,\u00a0but if he wants to do it, get the word out, let him<\/strong>… ultimately, people have to decide.”<\/p>\n NOW – Trump on Tucker Carlson’s interview with Nick Fuentes “you can’t tell him who to interview… if he wants to interview Nick Fuentes, I don’t know much about him, but if he wants to do it, get the word out, let him… ultimately, people have to decide.”\u00a0pic.twitter.com\/eFIlO1zR7v<\/a><\/p>\n \u2014 Disclose.tv (@disclosetv)\u00a0November 17, 2025<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/assets.zerohedge.com\/s3fs-public\/inline-images\/get_attachment_url_80%2813%29.jpg?itok=Icty35zz\")
