"Top Trump administration officials met with a key GOP lawmaker about an effort in the US House to force a vote on releasing Justice Department case files related to Jeffrey Epstein, according to multiple sources familiar with the meeting."
I think former Donald Trump advisor and current CNN political analyst David Urban makes the case for why The White House should've already released the Epstein files:
“No, I mean, I don’t think, and at the end of the day, I don’t know if it’s gonna break apart MAGA. But the issue is bigger. Steve Bannon, I think, nails it here directly. It’s really not about Jeffrey Epstein, it’s about accountability. I think the base, you heard Trump talk about this for a long time, there’s a two-tier system of justice in America, and the elites get protected, and the FBI protects them, and the deep state protects them.”

The New Democrat has been very clear on why we believe the Epstein files should've already been released:

"The speculation (and I'm sure it's true) is that the reason why President Trump doesn't want his Attorney General Pam Bondi, to release the Epstein files, because he knows he's all over them and it would be very embarrassing for him. Even though there's probably nothing in them that could probably incriminate him of anything relating to Jeffrey Epstein.
But my point is, for reasons that I've already laid out, is Donald Trump literally has nothing to lose here in releasing them. He's already the most unpopular 2nd term President, at least in the television and internet age. People who dislike and hate him now, won't dislike and hate him more after those files are released to the public...

"As far as the Epstein files, it's hard to imagine a sitting U.S. President being more unpopular than Donald John Trump. He's now in Joe Biden's range as far as political unpopularity, with his low 40s and upper 30s approval rating. Releasing the Epstein files even with him all over them, couldn't hurt himself anymore than what he's already done to his own political standing. If anything, it would probably just make him seem cooler with his reality TV base and perhaps even Independents who voted for him, because they think he's a "badass" or something:
"Yeah!!! The Donald rolls with pimps and sex traffickers!!! He's even a bigger badass than we thought"
Or phrase that last part anyway you want."

And from yesterday:
"After tomorrow, there will be 214 House Democrats in the 119th Congress, after Adelita Grijalva is sworn in tomorrow. Now, I'm not going to say there will be 50-60 Republicans who will vote for Representative Massie's petition. I don't know where Representative Ro Khanna and others are getting that information. But I could see 15-20. And those members who will probably be the Republicans who will probably lose reelection next year, if they run for reelection. But voting for the Massie petition could help whatever reelection chances that they have in 26, at least in the general election."

I mentioned this back in August, but this is Watergate 52 years later. It's just a different White House that is trying to save the President's coverup. But at least during the Nixon Administration, the Department of Justice was not just cooperative with the Watergate investigation, but they were actually running it, for the most part. Congress finally gets involved in the investigation in the Senate with their Watergate committee in the summer of 1973.
Nothing has changed for me since August. But President Trump is ever more unpopular now than he was 3 months ago. The White House gets to reopen the government, but only to deal with the Epstein files crisis. The President is now in the mid to upper 30s in approval, thanks to his bad economy, because of his tariffs. And this coverup is just making that problem worst.
So if for some godforsaken reason I managed to find myself advising President Donald Trump about anything, (perhaps everybody else in Washington either moved out or abandoned him, or he locked everyone else up for being disloyal to him) this is what I would tell the President:
"The economy is a big enough problem for you. I realize you don't care about the Republican Party. But if they get hammered in Congress a year from now, your life will get a helluva lot worst. All the House and Senate investigations... you won't be a lame duck in the next Congress. You will be a dead duck with very little power and not much ability at all to effect the agenda of the country.
But if you release the Epstein files, you can move on from here and spend the next year on the economy and make the political lives of Congressional Republicans a lot better. And give them a fighting chance to retain Congress. The American people won't dislike you any more than they already do, if the Epstein files come out. Some of your supporters will probably just see you as a bigger badass than they already thought and love you even more.
But the longer your coverup of the Epstein files last, the worst off you will be. And your days as a dead duck President will come a lot sooner. And your last 2 years as President will be even worst than they are right now."
