US Administration Plans Court Request to Unseal Epstein Records Amid Transparency Dispute

News summary

President Donald Trump's administration is under intense scrutiny for its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein case, facing demands from his own supporters and House Republicans for greater transparency. To address mounting pressure, the administration plans to urge the court to unseal classified Epstein-related records, though critics remain skeptical that partial disclosures will suffice. House Republicans introduced a non-binding resolution acknowledging calls for transparency, yet it stops short of forcing the Justice Department to release additional documents, reflecting internal GOP tensions and Trump's labeling of the case as a "hoax." Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt defended Trump's stance, accusing Democrats of hypocrisy for demanding transparency they allegedly neglected while in power and emphasizing the administration's selective release of what it considers credible information. Public frustration runs high, with polls showing widespread dissatisfaction across party lines regarding the administration’s handling of the Epstein files. The situation remains politically charged and legally complex, with courts cautious about unsealing grand jury materials amid concerns over reputations and witness cooperation.
