Bondi says she’ll try to unseal Epstein grand jury records
President Donald Trump is facing backlash from his base over the Jeffrey Epstein files, prompting him to call for Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all pertinent Grand Jury testimony related to the case, subject to court approval. Bondi quickly responded, stating that they are prepared to move the court to unseal the grand jury transcripts.
In a recent phone interview with “Just the News,” Trump made unsubstantiated claims that Democrats and former officials tampered with files related to Epstein. He insinuated that the documents were doctored during the Biden administration and criticized the lack of credibility in the information presented.
Despite Trump’s allegations, many documents concerning Epstein, including references to Trump and prominent Democrats, have been public for years. The White House firmly rejected the idea of appointing a special prosecutor in the Epstein case, emphasizing that the president does not support such a move.
Karoline Leavitt, the White House press secretary, dismissed Trump’s claims of a hoax surrounding the Epstein saga and criticized Democrats for their lack of transparency during their time in power. Leavitt reiterated that the president does not intend to pursue a special prosecutor and emphasized the need for credibility in any evidence released.
Epstein, who was arrested in 2019 and died in prison while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, has been a subject of controversy and conspiracy theories. A review by the Justice Department and FBI concluded that there was no client list and confirmed Epstein’s death by suicide in prison.
The release of a brief memo by the DOJ and FBI last week sparked outrage among Trump’s supporters, who have long believed in conspiracy theories surrounding Epstein and the so-called deep state. Trump has been trying to address the political fallout by supporting Bondi and questioning the credibility of the files.
As calls for transparency on the Epstein case grow, Republican lawmakers have urged for the release of all related files. Even Trump’s former vice president, Mike Pence, has called for full disclosure of the Epstein investigation documents. Leavitt defended the administration’s handling of the files and emphasized that any further evidence deemed credible would be released by the Justice Department and Bondi.
Moving forward, it remains to be seen how the Epstein files will be handled and whether additional information will be made public. The controversy surrounding the case continues to unfold, with both supporters and critics scrutinizing the administration’s response.
