Facing mounting pressure from supporters and critics alike, the Trump administration says it will ask the courts to unseal secret files related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. The move comes as the White House attempts to contain a political firestorm that some analysts say it helped ignite.

Attorney General Pam Bondi said she would seek the release of the Epstein grand jury transcripts today, at Donald Trump's request. What will they show?

The records are at the center of President Trump’s effort to manage fallout from the Epstein case. But unsealing them is complex and requires a judge to sign off.

The government will have to meet a high legal bar for the court to agree that any of the grand jury documents should be released—and those materials could still be disappointing.

For a president known for punching back at critics, his move to release more Epstein records is a notable instance of bowing to their demands.

Trump said on social media that “any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony” should be made public, “subject to Court approval.”

The Justice Department's request to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell's prosecutions is unlikely to yield significant new information, according to former prosecutors.

If Donald Trump's defamation suit doesn't settle, the discovery process could raise more questions about his ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Donald Trump has radically escalated his condemnation of his own supporters on social media in the midst of an unprecedented moment of division within the MAGA coalition about the Trump administration's conflicting reports about the existence of Jeffrey Epstein's client list and its willingness to release its contents.
