 WASHINGTON DC: U.S. President Donald Trump has directed the Department of Justice to produce “all pertinent” grand jury testimony related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated, “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.”

Minutes later, Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed the move, posting that the department is prepared to ask the court on Friday to unseal the transcripts.

The decision follows mounting pressure from Trump’s Make America Great Again (MAGA) base, which has been demanding more disclosures in the Epstein case.

It remains unclear whether Trump intends to authorize a full public release of the documents or when such a release might occur.
