Trump Order Release of Epstein Grand Jury Testimony
Trump Order Release of Epstein Grand Jury Testimony
The News
President Donald Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi on Thursday to “produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony” relating to sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein.
“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,” he wrote in a Truth Social post. “This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!”
White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said earlier Thursday that Trump “would not recommend” a special prosecutor to investigate the Epstein files. Some MAGA figures, including Laura Loomer, had urged the administration to appoint a special counsel.
Reactions
Bondi replied on X, “President Trump — we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.”
“The president would not recommend a special prosecutor in the Epstein case. That’s how he feels,” Leavitt said.

The order comes after the Wall Street Journal published a story concerning a birthday letter Trump wrote to Epstein that said the pair have “certain things in common.”
Trump told reporters earlier this week that appointing a special prosecutor was not under his control.
“I have nothing to do with it,” Trump said when asked about appointing a special prosecutor.
The president has called the Epstein files a “scam” and a “hoax,” rebuffing his promise to his supporters that he would release the files. He also slammed his “PAST supporters” for buying “into this ‘bulls***,’ hook, line, and sinker.”
