President Donald J. Trump is making good on his promise of full transparency, ordering the Justice Department to unseal long-secret grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein — a move the administration says is aimed at restoring public trust and holding all involved parties accountable.

The Justice Department filed a motion Friday asking a federal judge to lift the seal on grand jury transcripts in the Epstein case, calling the release a “matter of public interest.” The same request was made in the case of Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell, according to CNN.

President Trump personally directed the action on Thursday night, and Attorney General Pam Bondi responded swiftly.

“This is about restoring public trust,” a senior administration official told reporters. “The president wants everything out there — no games, no delays.”

The filing represents a sharp rebuke of critics — both inside the media and the political establishment — who have accused the Trump administration of soft-pedaling its investigation into Epstein’s global sex-trafficking operation. Just last week, the DOJ sparked backlash after releasing a memo stating there was no evidence Epstein had a “client list” or was murdered in custody.

That finding frustrated both skeptics and longtime supporters of President Trump, many of whom have demanded full disclosure.

In a Truth Social post, Trump made his position clear:

“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,” the president wrote.

“This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!”

The DOJ’s Friday filing confirms the administration reviewed the sealed transcripts and found no evidence to justify charging additional individuals. Still, the president insists the public has a right to see the records.

“Given this longstanding and legitimate interest, the government now moves to unseal grand jury transcripts associated with Epstein,” the filing reads.

The motion was signed by both Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. It underscores the seriousness of the administration’s approach and notes that public concern remains high about Epstein’s crimes, his death in custody, and the powerful individuals potentially connected to the case.

The final decision now rests with U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman, who oversaw Epstein’s criminal case before his death in 2019. Federal law requires the court to consult with both victims and uncharged individuals before releasing any material, a process that could take weeks or months.

And the grand jury transcripts are just the beginning. Thousands of pages of DOJ files — including internal memos and witness interviews — remain classified, and it’s unclear how much of that trove will ever be released.

Sources told CNN the FBI struggled to redact much of the material without blacking out entire pages, creating a public relations nightmare. Now, by asking the courts to decide, the administration is signaling it has nothing to hide — and that any delays or omissions are the court’s responsibility, not the president’s.

To date, several hundred pages have already been unsealed by court order. However, many remain blocked due to privacy protections for victims and unindicted parties.

Despite the legal obstacles, officials close to the review say President Trump is more determined than ever to shine a light on the Epstein scandal.

“This is just the beginning,” one source said. “The president is determined to bring as much daylight to this as possible — no matter who it exposes.”
