The Justice Department said unsealing grand jury transcripts related to Epstein's case is necessary given "longstanding and legitimate" public interest in the case.

"I have asked the Justice Department to release all grand jury testimony with respect to Epstein," Trump said.

For nearly 15 years, the two men socialized together in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Fla., before a falling out that preceded Mr. Epstein’s first arrest.

"All the work that we did to tell the world what happened to us, it’s all being erased," victim Danielle Bensky said.

President Donald Trump sued the Wall Street Journal, seeking at least $10 billion in damages, after the newspaper described a letter he allegedly sent to Jeffrey Epstein in 2003.

The FBI allegedly instructed agents to “flag” any mention of President Donald Trump while reviewing files related to Jeffrey Epstein.

Growing controversy over the criminal case files of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein now includes a the Wall Street Journal report of a Trump letter.

The cards were surreptitiously inserted onto a souvenir carousel and featured an old photo of Trump with the late convicted sex offender Epstein, when the pair were close friends, said comedy duo Davram Stiefler and Jason Selvig, known as The Good Liars, who were behind the stunt.
