House Republicans have rebuked President Trump for his position on the release of the Epstein files, putting him at odds with both sides of the aisle. Trump has remained ambiguous about whether he would sign a bill to release information related to his former associate Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

Celebrities like Jon Stewart and late-night host Jimmy Kimmel have accused Trump of trying to bury the files, which could shed light on Epstein's extensive network of powerful friends and associates. Stewart criticized Republicans for their reluctance to hold the president accountable, while Kimmel called out Trump for ignoring the victims of Epstein's crimes.

Despite mounting pressure from both Democrats and Republicans, Trump has doubled down on his silence regarding the release of the files. The president's handling of the situation has raised questions about his commitment to transparency and justice, as well as his ties to Epstein and other controversial figures.
