Washington, D.C. — Na so Trump come change hin mind about di Epstein files matter as e don hear say plenty Republicans don ready to break rank with am. As di House plan to drop di Epstein Files Transparency Act come Tuesday, e no fit continue to fight am. People wey dey close to Trump don whisper say e no wan make di matter dey drag come take shine from hin agenda, wey don dey suffer since all dis wahala start.
After months of trying to shut down di wahala, for Sunday evening, Trump one na im wan sign di bill if e reach im desk. “Sure, I would,” he yarn for di Oval Office when dem ask am if e go sign di measure. E be like say na so hope begin shine for di House, as di bill dey likely go reach Senate after dat.
But make we no forget how Trump don dey vex abord di whole Epstein files drama. Last week, e don blast some Republicans wey wan support di measure, calling dem “soft and foolish”. (Na wah, see as di drama dey unfold like Netflix series!) No be small surprise say di man wey sabi pull strings suddenly dey look for way make di matter end fast fast.
As e dey vex for di way Epstein files dey distract am, Trump no dey shy to show him frustration. E don clear say e no wan make dem tie am to Epstein matter, especially as dem dey use am pepper am for political wahala. Na dem people wey dey report for di matter say e cut tie with Epstein before di man face any law wahala. But e no fit totally escape di palava, especially as di Democrats don jump on top di matter to gain political advantage.
Meanwhile, House Speaker Mike Johnson, wey no dey jump at di opportunity to speak for camera, don tell am say, “There’s nothing to hide.” Dis one clear say dem ready to push di bill ahead, and maybe begin shift di matter from Epstein to di big economy issues wey Trump dey like to brag about.
Even as Trump don change hin stance, e still dey try to flip di narrative. E don order Justice Department to investigate how Epstein fit link with some big names, including Bill Clinton. (Na this one wey dey sprinkle spice for di matter, abi?) But no be say dem don catch anybody for di matter, but di whispers don dey fly about di connections.
As di day dey draw near for di vote, di public don dey push for answers. Di American people wan know wetin dey inside di documents, especially as di case don touch over 1,000 alleged victims. Di House don agree say dem go vote for di bill wey go release di unclassified documents wey surround Epstein investigation.
For dis palava, Trump don surely find himself in a tight corner. E fit decide to sign di bill to take jet out of di wahala. But di ongoing investigation don cause fresh questions about whether di Justice Department fit refuse to release documents after di bill, if dem finally sign am into law.
As dis whole drama unfold for di Capitol Hill, e dey clear say Trump go need all di help wey e fit gather to navigate dis crisis. Di Senate go still get di final say, and e go need dem 60 votes to push di measure through. But wetin di future dey hold for Trump and di whole Epstein saga, na only time go tell.
