AG Bondi Prepares to Unseal Epstein Grand Jury Transcripts

President Donald Trump has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek the public release of grand jury transcripts related to Jeffrey Epstein's prosecution, framing the release as a necessary step to end what he calls a Democratic 'scam.' Bondi confirmed readiness to move the court to unseal these transcripts, reversing earlier statements that no further documents would be released and that Epstein did not leave a client list. The renewed focus follows a Wall Street Journal report alleging Trump sent Epstein a suggestive birthday card, which Trump vehemently denies and has promised to sue the newspaper and its owner, Rupert Murdoch. The Department of Justice and FBI previously released memos and surveillance videos asserting Epstein's suicide and denying the existence of a client list, but the videos were found to be edited, fueling skepticism among some Republicans and Trump supporters. Despite calls for a special prosecutor to investigate Epstein's case more thoroughly, the White House has dismissed this notion. The release of these documents fulfills a campaign promise to Epstein case critics within Trump's political base, amid ongoing controversy and partisan tensions.
