WASHINGTON (AP) — Under intense pressure from President Donald Trump’s own supporters, his administration now says it will push a court to unseal secret documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s case in an effort to put to rest for good a political crisis largely of its own making.

Amid a deepening furor from far-right supporters over his administration's reluctance to make public the so-called Jeffrey Epstein files, President Donald Trump on Thursday directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to release "any and all" grand jury testimony related to the disgraced,

The records are at the center of President Trump’s effort to manage fallout from the Epstein case. But unsealing them is complex and requires a judge to sign off.

The Department of Justice (DOJ) on Friday asked a federal judge to release the transcripts of grand jury testimony made against Jeffrey Epstein years ago, as the Trump Administration faces a wave of criticism from lawmakers and the public over its handling of the late sex offender’s case.

The $10 billion libel lawsuit was filed the same day that the Justice Department asked a judge to unseal grand jury transcripts tied to Jeffrey Epstein's case.

Despite recent claims by President Donald Trump that former Biden officials doctored files related to Jeffrey Epstein, many of the documents -- including those mentioning Trump and several prominent Democrats -- have been public for years.

Attorney General Pam Bondi made FBI agents trawl through about 100,000 investigative files relating to child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein and “flag” any that mentioned Donald Trump, according to a top Democrat.

President Trump has filed a lawsuit over a story the Wall Street Journal published about an alleged birthday letter to Jeffrey Epstein.

Donald Trump's Jeffrey Epstein headache persisted this week with a new report on his alleged ties to Epstein and ongoing calls for transparency.

The lawsuit comes a day after the newspaper published a story reporting on President Trump's ties to wealthy financier Jeffrey Epstein. The president is seeking at least $10 billion in damages.

President Trump is facing an uproar over the Jeffrey Epstein files. MSNBC’s Antonia Hylton reports on how it’s unclear what could satisfy his enraged followers, with experts pointing out that MAGA’s Epstein conspiracy theories run deep.
