President Donald Trump has directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to "produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony" in the Jeffrey Epstein case — but it's unclear what's in that material, or whether a judge will even allow it to be released.

Those factors, applied to the Epstein saga, appear muddled at best. Trump has called for “pertinent” grand jury records to come out. And one of the arguments DOJ previously made against disclosures was that it could damage the purported victims of Epstein’s alleged sex trafficking conspiracy, many of whom are still alive.
