“President Trump announced Thursday night that he was authorizing Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek the public release of grand jury testimony from the prosecution of the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, and Ms. Bondi said she would make that request in federal court on Friday,” the New York Times reports.
“He cited ‘the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein’ for his directive, which falls far short of demands from some congressional Republicans to make public all investigative files collected by the department and the FBI, not just testimony presented in federal court.”
Bondi said in response she’s “ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.”
