The Epstein files could be on the cusp of being released, with Donald Trump himself appearing to completely reverse his position and encouraging Republicans to vote for the release in a post on Truth Social. And on Monday night, Jimmy Kimmel reacted tp the pivot.

"At least 50 Republicans are expected to break ranks, which has forced Trump to now claim he's for the files being released, after almost a year of saying he didn't want them released," says Kimmel in the clip above. "After a year of stalling, hedging, browbeating members of his own party, last night, all of a sudden, Trump reversed course completely. He wrote, 'As I said on Friday night [...] to the Fake News Media, House Republicans should vote to release the Epstein files, because we have nothing to hide.'

"'We have nothing to hide.' I have some bad news, there's no 'We'. It's just you bro."

Elsewhere, Jon Stewart was similarly unimpressed with Trump's attempt to deflect the issue onto the Democrats.
