President Trump or ordered Attorney General Palm Bondi to release a grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein – as his administration Facial pressure To disclose more information on late sexual criminal.
Mr. Trump wrote in one position, “Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epsustin, I have asked Attorney General Palm Bondi to produce any and all relevant grand jury testimony, subject to court approval.” True social“This scam, issued by Democrats, should just be finished, now!”
Bondi wrote in one Post on X After minutes, “We are ready to move the court tomorrow to ignore the grand jury tape.”
A judge will need to take a final decision as to whether the material can be released, which may take some time and is unlikely to be immediate.
It is not clear what material the Trump administration will ask to release. It is not clear how much is the material related to Epstein in the government’s possession, a grand jury testimony.
Epstein was examined by federal authorities in Florida in the 2000s, which ended in a guilty petition on a non-existing agreement and allegations of state prostitution, and was later accused of child sexual trafficking in Manhattan in 2019. Ghishline MaxwellIt investigated the circumstances of Epstein’s death in federal custody, which was considered a suicide.
Mr. Trump’s order comes after the Department of Justice and FBI A memorandum released Saying that Epstein did not have a “client list”, she did not try to blackmail any major figures, and died of suicide. Memo attracted backlash from across the political spectrum, which included some enthusiastic Trump Backers, as Bondi and other administration figures promised to release information on Epstein.
Government is Generally required To keep the magnificent jury content secret, and it is not common for all the materials shown to a grand jury – which a person gets criminally before motivating – to emerge during a criminal case.
Such a request by the government is abnormal, Mitchell Anener says, New York’s law firm Kudman Trechan is a partner of Aloe Posner and a former federal prosecutor.
He told CBS News, “I have been in federal criminal cases for more than 30 years. I have never heard before.”
While the scope of the government’s request is still unknown, the apnner says it can include “a large amount of data”. Mr. Trump said that the government would demand the release of the grand jury testimony, which the apnar mentioned that it could include the performance that the witnesses had testified about a grand jury.
Anener said, “I will not bet against anything, from the most interesting thing in the world to the least interesting thing in the world, in that material,” CBS News said that he believes that a call has been called for more information in Epstein’s case.
The apnner jokingly said: “If we find out the location of Jimmy Hofa’s corpse, I will not be surprised.”
According to the apnner, the possibility of material will not be released immediately, who said, “Weeks will be moving very quickly, there is a possibility of months.” Under court rules, grand jury material is usually issued only under some circumstances, often when it is required for another investigation. The government’s base for release in this case is not clear.
In this case, both colleagues and alleged victims may oppose some revelations of Epstein.
The apnner said, “I won’t be surprised that if many people come forward under pseudo -names, object to the release of the grand jury material related to them,” said the apnear. “I too would not be surprised if some victims come forward … come forward and said,” Yes, we want things to be revealed. ” ,
