Over the weekend, President Trump encouraged House Republicans to support a measure that would release all unclassified files related to Jeffrey Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.

That's a major reversal for the president, who's been encouraging Republicans to drop the matter.

The administration has already released thousands of files to the House Oversight Committee, but there remain even more that haven't been made public.

Should the House pass the measure, its fate is still not clear in the Senate.

If it passes both chambers, the president says he'll sign it.
