Overview

  • Trump instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to publish all grand jury testimony from the Epstein investigation, pending court approval.
  • He announced lawsuits against the Wall Street Journal and its parent NewsCorp over a disputed letter the paper said he sent to Epstein.
  • Prominent MAGA figures such as Tucker Carlson, Steve Bannon and House Speaker Mike Johnson have publicly criticized the decision to delay and limit disclosure of Epstein records.
  • A July 7 joint FBI and DOJ memo ruled Epstein died by suicide in custody and found no proof of a client list used for blackmail.
  • A Reuters/Ipsos poll finds that 69% of Americans suspect the government is hiding Epstein-related information and only 17% approve of Trump’s handling of the case.
