Overview

  • The Department of Justice formally requested approval from the Eastern District of New York to publicly release all grand jury testimony and indictment materials related to Jeffrey Epstein.
  • President Trump instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek court permission to publish the full grand jury transcripts of the Epstein probe.
  • On July 18 Trump filed a defamation lawsuit in Miami federal court against Wall Street Journal reporters and News Corp, seeking more than $100 billion and denying claims he sent an obscene letter to Epstein.
  • Trump’s public rebuke of supporters demanding a secret “client list” has deepened a schism with his MAGA base, which continues to doubt official accounts of Epstein’s death and records.
  • The unresolved dispute over transparency and conspiracy theories has raised concerns about intra-party unity and potential impacts on the 2026 midterm elections.
