Overview

  • President Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to file a court motion to unseal all pertinent grand jury testimony from the Jeffrey Epstein case.
  • Bondi confirmed the Justice Department stands ready to seek judicial approval to release the transcripts as soon as this week.
  • Trump vowed to sue The Wall Street Journal, News Corp and Rupert Murdoch over a 2003 birthday letter to Epstein that he describes as “fake.”
  • The WSJ report says the disputed note bore Trump’s signature alongside a hand-drawn nude outline and ended with “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”
  • Despite the directive, the bulk of evidence from the 2019 investigation remains sealed, fueling ongoing calls for accountability and deeper scrutiny.
