Although he asked the Department of Justice to release all grand jury testimony in convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's case, President Donald Trump said on Saturday, July 19 that people will still demand more information.

Those factors, applied to the Epstein saga, appear muddled at best. Trump has called for “pertinent” grand jury records to come out. And one of the arguments DOJ previously made against disclosures was that it could damage the purported victims of Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking conspiracy, many of whom are still alive.

Trump has tried to damp down speculation, fanned mainly by Democrats, that the withheld files contain evidence of a deep connection between Trump and Epstein. Trump has reacted with outrage and disdain, even at members of his political base who have pressed for the files to be released.

This is the extraordinary—and moving—true story of how two teenage girls set off events which have engulfed Trump and hundreds of others.

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

With backlash from his base not abating, the Justice Dept. asked a federal judge to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Epstein's 2019 indictment.
