US President Donald Trump says he's ordered the US Justice Department to produce "all pertinent" grand jury testimony related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
"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," Trump said in a post on Truth Social.
Attorney General Pam Bondi posted minutes later: "We are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts."
The development comes after days of sustained pressure from Trump's Make America Great Again (Maga) supporters demanding further disclosures in the Epstein case.
It's unclear from the post whether Trump is authorising the public release of additional documents or when that could come.
