The Justice Department's July 18 motion to release Epstein grand jury transcripts followed a request Trump made to Attorney General Pam Bondi.

President Donald Trump’s call to make public a subset of grand jury records stemming from the prosecution of Jeffrey Epstein falls far short of the total release of documents his supporters have demanded.

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.
