Trump asks Bondi to release Epstein grand jury testimony

(NewsNation) — President Donald Trump has asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all relevant Grand Jury testimony regarding the Jeffrey Epstein case.

“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 on Truth Social. “This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!”

Bondi swiftly responded via X, writing, “President Trump—we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.”

In a page-and-a-half memo released on July 7, the Department of Justice and FBI stated they concluded an “exhaustive review” into Epstein’s death, while adding they did not find a “client list” in the evidence collected as part of the investigation. The memo added that no further evidence would be released related to the case.

Earlier this week, Trump slammed his “past supporters” for their focus, and in some corners, dissatisfaction with the Justice Department’s handling of the Epstein files.

His order comes after experts insisted video footage of Epstein’s cell released by the Department of Justice was altered.

The release attracted widespread criticism from Democrats and even some Republicans. This week, some on the opposing side of the aisle called for all information in the Epstein files to be released.

It comes despite Epstein’s former lawyer Alan Dershowitz telling “CUOMO” on Tuesday that “there is no client list.”

Another of Epstein’s former attorneys, David Schoen, told NewsNation that Epstein “had no plan for blackmail” and he did not believe a client list existed.

Lawmakers, including Rep. Lauren Boebert, R-Colo., have been pushing for a special counsel to examine the case and what many have seen as a botched rollout of the files.
