Trump Orders Release of Epstein Grand Jury Testimony Amid Public Outcry

President directs Attorney General Pam Bondi to unseal files in court move set for today, calling it a Democratic “scam,” as historical ties with Epstein resurface

At 1:31 AM today, July 18, 2025, President Donald J. Trump ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all pertinent grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein, subject to court approval, as announced via the White House’s X account.

The move comes amid escalating public demand for transparency following Epstein’s lenient 2008 plea deal, with nearly 200 pages of related documents released by a Florida judge last year.

Trump labeled the scrutiny a “SCAM perpetuated by Democrats,” aiming to quell speculation about his past association with Epstein, documented through social events at Mar-a-Lago in the 1990s.

The decision reverses a recent Justice Department stance denying a “client list,” sparking internal tensions.

A court hearing is set for today, with Bondi confirming readiness, as the nation watches for revelations in this high-profile case.
