Trump Orders Epstein Docs Released Amid Backlash

After mounting pressure from supporters, former President Donald Trump has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek the release of grand jury documents related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Trump cited the intense public interest in the case and ordered the Justice Department to produce all relevant testimony—pending court approval. The move follows backlash over Bondi’s recent reversal on releasing a so-called client list, sparking demands for transparency. Trump also announced plans to sue The Wall Street Journal over a reported birthday greeting allegedly sent to Epstein, calling it “fake” and defamatory. The DOJ is expected to move the court for unsealing as early as tomorrow.
