Jeffrey Epstein, Grand Jury
Digest more
Trump orders the DOJ to unseal grand jury transcripts in the Epstein case, but the move may fall short. NBC News reports the documents won’t include key FBI interviews, evidence, or unredacted names.
Rep. Tim Burchett (R-TN) spoke to CNN about President Trump calling for the release of a portion of the Epstein files.
Those factors, applied to the Epstein saga, appear muddled at best. Trump has called for “pertinent” grand jury records to come out. And one of the arguments DOJ previously made against disclosures was that it could damage the purported victims of Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking conspiracy, many of whom are still alive.
Trump has tried to damp down speculation, fanned mainly by Democrats, that the withheld files contain evidence of a deep connection between Trump and Epstein. Trump has reacted with outrage and disdain, even at members of his political base who have pressed for the files to be released.
This is the extraordinary—and moving—true story of how two teenage girls set off events which have engulfed Trump and hundreds of others.
