Congress is expected to release all Epstein files. Trump worries that won’t be enough.

White House officials are concerned that even with Congress voting to release the entirety of the Epstein files, the controversy around the late convicted sex offender will continue to swirl.

“Are people ever going to be satisfied,” said one White House official, granted anonymity to discuss internal thinking. “No, because people in this country genuinely believe that the federal government is in possession of a list of pedophiles who work with Jeffrey Epstein. And that is just not true.”

The House could advance the bill forcing the disclosure of Justice Department records related to Epstein as soon as Tuesday. The White House official expects the Senate to pass the bill as well, and the president has said he would sign it.

The fast-track movement comes after months of stalling by Republican leaders and immense pressure from the White House to keep a vote from happening.

But Trump, over the last week, realized his vice-like grip over the GOP was not enough to forestall the vote and relented to the “inevitable reality,” the official said. The president changed course Sunday after speaking with many Republicans and concluding dozens of House members planned to cross him.

“The strategy now is give Republicans a perceived win,” the official said. “So they can go back to their districts and say, ‘I voted to release the Epstein files.’”

The president remains frustrated that members of his own party have essentially laid a trap he cannot avoid in part because administration officials insist there is nothing more of substance for them to unveil.

A trove of materials handed over by Epstein’s estate to congressional investigators and released to the public last week included a 2018 email Epstein wrote claiming Trump “knew about the girls,” apparently referring to the underage girls Epstein was accused of trafficking.

Trump has denied wrongdoing in relation to the Epstein allegations, and no evidence has suggested that Trump took part in Epstein’s crimes. The president also has said he and Epstein had a falling out years ago.

Some Trump allies in the House, even those who plan to vote for the bill, agreed the expected vote won’t put the issue to rest.

House Oversight Chair James Comer (R-Ky.), whose committee issued the subpoena to Epstein’s estate for the files, called further congressional action a “show vote,” adding that “the Department of Justice has turned over what they’re legally allowed to turn over.”

The White House official echoed Comer: “This idea that the federal government is in possession of documents that they can legally hand over with respect to Jeffrey Epstein, and we're keeping them from the public is a fallacy, like, it's not true.”

But Trump still believes Democrats outplayed the GOP, which is partly why he is so angry with his party and why he tried so hard to prevent the House from voting, said a person close to the White House granted anonymity to discuss the Epstein case.

“POTUS doesn’t like to be told what to do or give Dems a win, so he’s been fighting it,” the person said.

Still, the realization that he’d be on the wrong side of the vote left Trump no choice but to give his blessing.

“House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide, and it’s time to move on from this Democrat Hoax,” he wrote Sunday night on Truth Social, adding, “I DON’T CARE! All I do care about is that Republicans get BACK ON POINT” discussing economic issues.

The move allowed the administration to maintain Trump had never actually opposed the idea of releasing the files, so much as he was upset that Republicans played into Democrats’ hands.

“He actually didn’t change his mind,” said a senior White House official, granted anonymity to discuss internal thinking. “He just Truth’d what he’s been thinking.”

But the problem is in part of the Trump administration’s own making. Attorney General Pam Bondi in February resurfaced the existence of such a supposed client list, telling Fox News it was “sitting on my desk” awaiting her review.

House Republican leaders could put the disclosure bill up for a vote as soon as Tuesday or Wednesday under so-called suspension of the rules, a fast-track procedure requiring a two-thirds majority vote for passage. Senate Majority Leader John Thune isn’t expected to announce whether he will bring up the Epstein measure until it passes the House.
