18 OUTLETS
Trump Reportedly Contacts Lawmakers as Epstein Files Petition Reaches 218

The petition reached 218 signatures, enough to force a House vote on releasing Epstein-related files, and articles report that Trump sought to persuade Republican lawmakers to withdraw their support. Left-leaning outlets portray Trump’s efforts as an attempt to prevent disclosure and connect the dispute to questions about his knowledge of Epstein. Center outlets largely focus on the petition’s progress and vote process, while also reporting Trump’s outreach and competing claims about the files. Right-leaning outlets pair the petition’s progress with Trump’s response, emphasizing either reported outreach to lawmakers or renewed questions about his past knowledge.
