President Trump has reversed course. He's telling Republican lawmakers to vote to demand the release of Justice Department files on late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump and his GOP allies have resisted this for months, but a bipartisan group of House lawmakers has already collected enough support to force a vote on the release of the files. Annie Farmer is a psychologist who testified about her abuse by Epstein and his partner Gilen Maxwell. She is cautious about Trump's reversal. I think there's a healthy amount of skepticism amongst those of us who have been involved in this fight for a long time. You know, there have been so many efforts um to I'd say politicize this and um obiscate the truth that I you know, I hope that that is the case and that everyone's on the same page that this would be the best thing for the American people. But um you know, I think that remains to be seen.
