Justice Department asks court to unseal Jeffrey Epstein grand jury records
UNITED STATES, JUL 18 – The Justice Department seeks to unseal grand jury transcripts from Jeffrey Epstein's prosecution to address public demand for transparency amid controversy over his death and alleged ties.
- In a filing Friday, the Justice Department asked a federal court to unseal grand jury transcripts in United States v. Epstein, subject to victim-related redactions.
- In a Truth Social post Thursday, Trump directed Bondi to seek public release of Epstein grand jury testimony, after The Wall Street Journal reported on a lewd 2003 birthday letter.
- According to the Justice Department, the transcripts include testimony from witnesses in secret grand jury proceedings, with plans to work with New York prosecutors on redactions of victim-related and personal identifying information.
- Axios reported internal tensions flared when FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino clashed with Bondi, enraging parts of Trump’s base.
- If the judges grant the request, grand jury transcripts may not be immediately available and could take weeks or months to unseal.
