"I have asked the Justice Department to release all grand jury testimony with respect to Epstein," Trump said.

Attorney General Pam Bondi 's top deputy, Todd Blanche, submitted the motion to unseal the Epstein transcripts, as well as those in the case against convicted British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell, just one day after President Donald Trump publicly directed the department to take that step, Newsweek previously reported.

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.
