U.S. President Donald Trump announced Thursday that he has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to release grand jury transcripts related to the Jeffrey Epstein case, pending court approval. The move comes amid heightened public interest in unresolved questions surrounding Epstein’s network and legal proceedings.
In a post on Truth Social, Trump stated the release would ensure transparency, adding that the Justice Department is prepared to file a motion to unseal the records as early as Friday. Bondi confirmed the plan on social media platform X, signaling swift action.
The announcement follows Trump’s earlier threat to sue The Wall Street Journal over its reporting on an alleged 2023 letter linked to Epstein. Legal analysts suggest the dual actions reflect an effort to address lingering controversies ahead of the 2024 election cycle.
While the Epstein case has drawn global attention for its connections to high-profile figures, the release of grand jury materials could shed new light on investigative gaps. Observers note the decision may also impact cross-border legal cooperation, given Epstein’s ties to multiple jurisdictions.
