Federal judges responded to a request from the attorney general to release grand jury transcripts from cases against Jeffrey Epstein and his co-conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell.

The Justice Department said unsealing grand jury transcripts related to Epstein's case is necessary given "longstanding and legitimate" public interest in the case.

Committee Democrats had planned to force a vote on a resolution calling for the public release of Epstein-related documents

As a refresher: Epstein was a financier who paid teenage girls to perform sex acts. He used his onetime girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell to recruit and manage his victims. He had a wide circle of influential friends and acquaintances, including Bill Clinton and Trump.

A new poll shows Americans have all but given up on seeing anyone in financier and convicted child sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s orbit hauled into court, underscoring deepening public distrust of the government’s official narrative about the disgraced financier’s 2019 death.

Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges for soliciting prostitution and soliciting prostitution from a minor in 2008, but was hit with additional federal charges in 2019 before his death.

One of the biggest questions looming over President Donald Trump’s second term right now is how much his supporters truly care about the Jeffrey Epstein files.

President Donald Trump baselessly accused former President Barack Obama and others of orchestrating a plot against him, calling it "treason," as he revived long-standing grievances over the Russia investigation and sought to deflect questions about the Epstein case.
