Facing Uproar at his Maga Base about the archives of Jeffrey Epstein, President Donald Trump has asked that Attorney General Pam Bondi “produces each and every one of the testimonies of a relevant grand jury, subject to the approval of the Court” related to the case.
Bondi responded on social networks on Thursday night, saying: “We are ready to move the Court tomorrow to uproot the transcripts of the grand jury.”
Trump, in a telephone interview with “Just The News” about the voice of Real America on Wednesday night, alleged without providing evidence that the Democrats and former officials manipulated files related to the dishonored financial and the sentenced sexual offender.
The comments occurred when Trump was asked if he wanted a prosecutor to analyze the broad issue of political prosecution.
“Well, I think it is in the case of Epstein, they have already looked at him, and they are looking at him, and I think that all they have to do is get something credible,” Trump said.
“But you know, that was administered by the Biden administration for four years. I imagine what they put in the archives, just as they did with others,” Trump continued. “I mean, Steele’s file was a false total, right? He took two years to discover it for people, and all the things you mentioned were false.”
“So I imagine that if they were directed by Chris Wray and were administered by Comey, and because it was actually even before that administration, they have been executing these files, and many of the things we found were false with me,” Trump said.

Despite Trump’s claims that the Democrats “put” things in the archives, many documents related to Epstein, including those who mention Trump and several prominent democrats, have been public for years.
And the White House closed on Thursday the idea of appointing a special prosecutor in the case of Epstein.
“The idea was floated from someone in the media to the president. The president would not recommend a special prosecutor in the case of Epstein. This is how it feels,” said White House Secretary Karoline Leavitt, to journalists in the informative session.
When asked to clarify which part of the Epstein saga is a “deception”, as Trump said, Leavitt only continued to criticize the Democrats.
“The president refers to the fact that the Democrats have now taken over this as if they ever wanted transparency when it comes to Jeffrey Epstein, which is an Asinine suggestion for any Democrat,” he said. “The Democrats had control of this building, the White House, for four years, and did nothing at all when it was transparency in regard to Jeffrey Epstein and its heinous crimes.”

Epstein was arrested in 2019 and died in prison while waiting for a trial for sexual traffic charges, while Trump was president. A review of the Department of Justice and the FBI did not find the so -called “client list” and confirmed that Epstein died for suicide in prison.
The brief memorandum presented by the DOJ and the FBI advanced last week among Trump’s staunch supporters after years of prominent right -wing figures that push accusations about Epstein and the “deep state” that protects the elites.
Since then, Trump looked for several ways to get the political storm, reaching Bondi’s defense and also says he should release what he considers “credible.”
Now, he has changed to call Epstein’s archives a “deception” and those republican supporters who question the management of their administration as “stupid” and “silly.”
“Some of the naive Republicans fall online, as they always do,” said the president in “only the news.”
The calls to transparency in Epstein came from several Republicans in Capitol Hill on Wednesday. And Trump’s former vice president Mike Pence asked the administration to “release all files” regarding Epstein’s investigation.
Leavitt defended on Thursday the management of the administration of Epstein archives and tried to distance Trump from greater decision making about the case.
Leavitt said it would depend on the Department of Justice and that Bondi would release any other “credible” evidence.
“In terms of writings or seals of large jury, those are questions for the Department of Justice. Those are also questions for judges who have that information under a stamp. And that should be requested and the judge would have to approve it. That is out of the president’s control,” he said when he asked why they would not release the archives, with sensitive information written, to provide more transparency.
