Following days of uproar surrounding the handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, President Donald Trump asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to release relevant grand jury testimony — “subject to court approval.”
A schism in MAGA world broke open after the Justice Department said there was no evidence to support the existence of a “client list” of associates whom some claim Epstein blackmailed over their alleged involvement in his trafficking scheme. Now, prominent Republicans, including Trump’s former Vice President Mike Pence, have joined conservative influencers in calling for increased transparency around the case.
On Thursday, the president seems to be caving in to the demands.
Trump revealed he asked the attorney general to release more information into the highly scrutinized case in a Truth Social post Thursday evening. He wrote: “Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval. This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!”
He posted the update within the hour of announcing his plans to sue the Wall Street Journal over its story detailing a bawdy birthday card that Trump allegedly gave to Epstein for his 50th birthday.
