The Department of Justice, under the direction of President Donald J. Trump, is continuing its efforts to bring transparency to one of the most controversial criminal investigations in modern history: the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell child sex trafficking case.

In a stunning revelation, a new court filing confirms that only two witnesses ever testified before the grand juries that led to the charges against Epstein and Maxwell — an FBI agent and a detective from the New York Police Department.

Attorney General Pam Bondi, responding to public outcry over the government’s sealed files, explained that the identities of the two witnesses — one from the FBI and the other a member of NYPD’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force — were the key reason the government initially resisted full disclosure.

Despite deep resistance from legacy media outlets and elements within the federal judiciary, the Trump administration has formally demanded that the Justice Department release grand jury materials from both Florida and New York investigations into the convicted sexual predators.

However, the Southern District of Florida has rejected the President’s motion outright, while the Southern District of New York has requested further justification — including confirmation that the witnesses involved are still alive.

In a filing submitted Tuesday night, interim U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton confirmed that both individuals remain alive and currently employed. “Both witnesses are still alive; the FBI agent continues to be an agent with the FBI, and the Detective continues to be a Detective with the NYPD as well as a Task Force Officer,” Clayton wrote.

Clayton’s filing, which was also signed by Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, emphasized the nation’s right to know: “The passage of time has not dulled the public’s interest in these cases.”

That interest has only intensified under President Trump, whose administration has faced institutional pushback from within the DOJ and FBI, agencies that many Americans believe have actively worked to shield elites tied to Epstein’s inner circle.

In July, the FBI released a brief memo concluding that Epstein died by suicide and that there is no existing “client list” of co-conspirators — a finding met with widespread skepticism. Only Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year federal prison sentence, has ever been held accountable. No other Epstein accomplices have faced charges.

Now, with mounting pressure from the MAGA base and congressional allies, Deputy AG Blanche recently traveled to Florida to personally interview Maxwell in a closed-door session that lasted two days — a development that signals Trump’s DOJ is taking its mandate to pursue justice seriously.

Yet even as the push to unseal continues, the DOJ has notified all but one of Epstein’s named victims about the effort to release redacted versions of grand jury transcripts. The victims have until Tuesday to formally object — and any objections could be used by court officials to deny broader public access.

Still, the question lingers: If only two witnesses were ever called in these historic grand jury proceedings, what exactly is the federal government trying so hard to keep buried?

Whether the courts will side with President Trump’s push for full disclosure or with the institutional machinery still guarding these files remains to be seen. But one thing is certain: the American people aren’t done asking questions.
