The Justice Department’s motion to release the transcript of the July 18 Epstein Ju Court came after Trump’s request to Attorney General Pam Bondy.
Pam Bondi says doj ‘”ready to move through court,” Pam Bondi says
President Donald Trump says he has ordered several releases of the Epstein Files for the promotion that the incident is still getting.
The Justice Department has called on Manhattan Federal Court to release a large ju court transcript related to Jeffrey Epstein’s federal sex trafficking case after increasing pressure to increase transparency regarding shameful financiers and convicted sex offenders.
The July 18 move to compile personal identification information before the release of records follows a request by President Donald Trump to say he made it to Attorney General Pam Bondy amid ongoing controversy.
“Based on the outrageous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to generate all relevant large ju court testimony subject to court approval,” Trump posted on the 17th of the Truth Social.
Bondi responded on the same day in a post on X, saying that the Justice Department is “ready to move through court tomorrow and seal the transcript of the Great Jue Court.”
A July 18 request from Bondi and Associate Attorney General Todd Blanche promises that the DOJ will make “appropriate editing” to protect both victim-related and personally identifiable information – if the court allows the records to be made public.
That warning is a shame for the public who are seeking the government to release the names of potential Epstein clients who may have joined him in a sex trafficking ring. Several members of Trump’s own administration have instigated the flames of these plots for years, including FBI director Kash Patel, who told right-wing media figure Glenn Beck in 2023 that President Joe Biden’s FBI director had direct control of Epstein’s “The Black Book.”
However, in a memo released on July 7, the Justice Department and the FBI said reviews of government records regarding Epstein were unable to list client lists and further disclosures were not justified. The department is now pushing for greater transparency, but was standing beside other decisions in the memo in its request to the court.
“The Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation continue to adhere to the conclusions reached the memorandum, but transparency for the American people is paramount to this administration,” the submission said.
Bondi and Blanche also asked for the large ju judge to be sealed in the federal criminal case of Epstein’s associate Gisleine Maxwell. Maxwell is currently sentenced to 20 years in prison, pleading Epstein to a 2021 conviction for trafficking a minor.
