President Trump directed Attorney General Pam Bondi Thursday to release “pertinent” grand jury testimony in the case of notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein — so long as a court allows it.
“Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval,” he wrote on Truth Social.
“This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!” the president added.

“This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!” the president added about the Epstein files. REUTERSTrump’s decision follows intense pressure from his base for more transparency in the case, and comes hours after The Wall Street Journal published a story about a note he allegedly wrote to Epstein.
Grand jury testimony in the Epstein case took place in the US District Court for the Southern District of New York — and Bondi indicated that she would petition the court Friday for the release of the files.
“President Trump — we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts,” Bondi wrote on X.
Epstein, 66, was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019, a month after he was charged with sex trafficking minors by the US Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York.
The FBI and Justice Department announced the conclusion of a “systematic review” of the Epstein case last week in a controversial, unsigned memo.
The review found “no credible evidence” that Epstein “blackmailed prominent individuals” or that investigations against “uncharged third parties” were warranted.
Investigators also concluded the financier died by suicide and never had a “client list” of powerful associates allegedly implicated in his sickening crimes.
The memo indicated that no further disclosures would be made in the case.
Trump, backing the FBI and DOJ’s decision, has described the case as a “hoax” and has urged his supporters to move on from the issue since the release of the memo.
Hundreds of pages of 2006 grand jury testimony related to Epstein’s earlier sex crimes case out of Florida were previously released last year.
The documents revealed that the Palm Beach County Court heard testimony about Epstein sexually assaulting girls as young as 14 inside his Florida mansion, with victims telling authorities they were paid to find Epstein more girls to assault.
That case ended with the pedophile sentenced to less than two years in prison after taking a plea deal.
