Trump Vows More Transparency in Epstein Case
(MENAFN) Facing growing disapproval over his administration's approach to the sex trafficking investigation involving the late financier Jeffrey Epstein, US President Donald Trump has pledged to unveil additional details.
The backlash intensified after months of promises to make the full case records public, only for the Department of Justice to state in a recent memo that no more materials would be disclosed.
This announcement ignited strong reactions, even from some of Trump’s most loyal allies.
In a statement posted on Truth Social, Trump addressed the controversy by saying, “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.”
His message followed widespread frustration over the lack of transparency in a case that has captured international attention.
Attorney General Pam Bondi confirmed her office’s readiness to act, stating they are “ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.”
However, it remains uncertain what specific files will be released or the timeline for their availability.
Jeffrey Epstein was apprehended in 2019, accused of trafficking underage individuals for sexual exploitation.
He allegedly took his own life in a New York detention facility before legal proceedings could begin.
His longtime associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, was subsequently found guilty of aiding in the sexual abuse of minors and is now serving a two-decade prison sentence.
Despite the official conclusion that Epstein’s death was a suicide, the circumstances have continued to provoke widespread public doubt.
