Overview

• President Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to file motions in New York and Florida federal courts to unseal all grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein, subject to judicial approval.
• Representatives Thomas Massie and Ro Khanna have launched a bipartisan discharge petition and co-sponsored a bill aiming to force publication of all unclassified Epstein case records and secure 218 signatures for a House floor vote.
• House Speaker Mike Johnson opposes the Massie-Khanna petition, backing instead a non-binding resolution to release only “credible” evidence with redactions to safeguard the identities of victims.
• Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell over two days last week, but her statements remain sealed as lawmakers debate offering her a pardon in exchange for truthful testimony.
• Epstein survivor Maria Farmer’s lawsuit against the federal government over mishandled abuse reports may unlock further disclosures through discovery, intensifying pressure for transparency.
