Legal pathway clearly exists for Trump's request to make Epstein grand jury testimony public

Grand jury records, particularly those related to Jeffrey Epstein, are usually kept confidential, yet courts have the discretion to release them to the public. In the case of the disgraced financier, President Trump has advocated for their release, according to experts speaking to Fox News Digital.

“Given the excessive media attention surrounding Jeffrey Epstein, I have requested Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all related Grand Jury testimony, pending Court approval,” President Trump declared on Truth Social. This statement was shared by the attorney general on X Thursday evening. “This charade, orchestrated by the Democrats, should cease immediately!”

Bondi mentioned that her office is prepared to submit a motion by Friday, seeking a federal judge’s consent to disclose the grand jury transcripts pertaining to Epstein’s legal proceedings.

“In this case, Epstein is dead, so the court will consider harm to the victims in deciding whether to grant the Department of Justice’s request.  There are no open criminal investigations or civil lawsuits that would typically be the basis for disclosure.  DOJ officials will have to explain why the unsealing is in the public’s interest.  Since the government is the party typically trying to keep the transcripts secret, and they’re taking the opposite approach here, I expect the judge to grant the request.”

Victims’ names and other details would likely still be redacted, according to Nicole Parker, a former FBI agent who was stationed in Florida, where Epstein kept one of his mansions.

“Americans are going to be greatly underwhelmed with the release of anything Epstein-related,” she said. “There is no smoking gun. And for the record, there is nothing more that this administration would love to do than to put handcuffs on anyone that’s hurting a child.”
