Donald Trump faced intense scrutiny over a congratulatory letter allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein. He threatened to sue The Wall Street Journal for publishing the letter, claiming it is fake. Following the Justice Department's controversial decision to close the Epstein case, Trump aims to calm the backlash by requesting the release of court documents. Attorney General Pam Bondi signaled readiness to unseal grand jury testimony. This situation deepens concerns regarding the separation of powers and raises doubts among the MAGA movement about the administration's accountability to its promises on the Epstein case.
Thursday marked another day of turmoil in the ongoing crisis engulfing Donald Trump over the Epstein case, ending with the U.S. president threatening to sue The Wall Street Journal and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, over the publication of a congratulatory letter allegedly sent by Trump to the pedophile millionaire on his 50th birthday.
The president hopes this move will calm the storm unleashed by the Justice Department's recent decision to close the Epstein case—a case the Trump administration had promised for months would yield revealing information, only to now claim that such information is irrelevant.
Trump has asked Bondi to release any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony... the attorney general responded to that request on X, saying: President Trump we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcript.
Bondi's eager submission to the president's orders is another nail in the coffin of the ideal of separation of powers under the current administration.
