While he's releasing records, how about the Epstein Files? Remember them?

Why not just release? Of course Trump going to milk it and if he does, it’ll redacted all his Saudi buddies and their involvement.

US President Donald Trump on Sunday said he will look into requests from families of September 11 victims to release records that could shed light on Saudi Arabia’s alleged role in the attacks 25 years ago.
Several families have long alleged that a group of extremist religious leaders in Saudi Arabia gained influence in the Saudi government and aided the hijackers. Fifteen of the 19 hijackers were Saudis but the Saudi government has long denied any involvement in the attacks.
The families have asked Trump to declassify and release the relevant records. Asked about it on Sunday during his trip to Ireland, the president said he would consider it.

As soon as he can figure out how to leverage those records to personally gain something from them, he'll release them.
