Even if Trump is forced to sign it to keep up the appearance of having dodged a stinging defeat, there’s no reason to think the Justice Department will release anything damaging about Trump.
Practically, there’s no real way for Congress to know if the Trump administration buries damaging documents or files.
Trump and the White House also seem to be leaving themselves a pretty big out.
In his social media post suddenly declaring he didn’t care if the House Oversight Committee got the Epstein files, Trump caveated it by saying they “can have whatever they are legally entitled to.”
“Legally entitled to” is doing a lot of work there.
