Trump Seeks Release Of Epstein Grand Jury Documents
5 hours ago
Using Truth Social, President Donald Trump says he has asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to release all relevant grand jury transcripts from the Jeffrey Epstein case.
“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. This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!” the post on Truth Social stated.
Earlier on Thursday, the Wall Street Journal published a story about Trump’s “relationship” with Epstein. The story mentioned a birthday card the paper claims Trump mailed to Epstein in 2003.
The President says the birthday card is fake.
“It’s not my language. It’s not my words,” Trump told the WSJ before the story broke.
The letter revealed by The Wall Street Journal was allegedly collected by disgraced British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell as part of a birthday album for Epstein years before the wealthy financier was first arrested in 2006 and subsequently had a falling-out with Trump. The paper claims the letter bearing Trump’s name includes text framed by the outline of what appears to be a hand-drawn naked woman and ends with, “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret,” according to the newspaper. The outlet described the contents of the letter but did not publish a photo showing it entirely.
Maxwell was arrested in 2020 and convicted a year later on charges that she helped Epstein lure girls to be sexually abused.
Trump slammed the story in a lengthy social media post Thursday night, saying he spoke to both to the paper’s owner, Rupert Murdoch, and its top editor, Emma Tucker, and told them the letter was “fake.” Trump promised to sue the paper over the story, saying: “These are not my words, not the way I talk. Also, I don’t draw pictures.”
Vice President JD Vance said The Wall Street Journal “should be ashamed” for publishing it.
“Where is this letter? Would you be shocked to learn they never showed it to us before publishing it? Does anyone honestly believe this sounds like Donald Trump?” he wrote on X.
