In a shift, Trump says House Republicans should vote to release Epstein filesNovember 16, 202510:29 PM ETBy

NPR Washington Desk

President Trump now says that House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files “because we have nothing to hide.”

In a Truth Social post Sunday evening, he again called the issue a “Democrat Hoax” intended to “deflect from the Great Success of the Republican Party.”

Trump noted in the lengthy post that the Justice Department now has an additional investigation focused on Democrats who knew the convicted sex offender, at his request.

Trump has faced pressure from his own party to follow through on a campaign promise to release investigative files related to Epstein, creating rare fissures in the GOP. Most notably, he has withdrawn his endorsement for Georgia Republican Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, who has been a vocal proponent of the vote.

• FAA says it will review reports some airlines did not comply with the restrictions
• Agency imposed restrictions due to air traffic control safety concerns
• Airlines canceled just a fraction of 1% of flights Sunday, far fewer than FAA required
• WASHINGTON, Nov 16 (Reuters) – The Federal Aviation Administration late Sunday said it would end mandated cuts in domestic flights at 40 major U.S. airports effective at 6 a.m. ET (1000 GMT) Monday, easing restrictions that had been imposed over air traffic control concerns during the federal shutdown.
• FAA Administrator Bryan Bedford said the decision “reflects the steady decline in staffing concerns.” The FAA also removed restrictions on space launches and general aviation flights at some airports.https://www.reuters.com/world/us/airlines-expect-faa-end-3-flight-cuts-major-us-airports-sources-say-2025-11-17/
