Trump directs AG to release Epstein transcripts

President Donald Trump has ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek the release of grand jury materials tied to Jeffrey Epstein, escalating a political firestorm that has reignited conspiracy theories and angered parts of the president’s base. The move follows backlash over a DOJ memo denying the existence of an Epstein "client list." A judge must still approve any release, and it’s unclear what material is covered by the order.
