President Trump has faced growing calls for Attorney General Pam Bond to reverse her decision to withhold evidence in the Epstein case from the public.

The president’s directive follows weeks of uproar surrounding the handling of the so-called Epstein files and after Trump announced his plans to sue the Wall Street Journal after the paper published a bombshell report detailing a bawdy birthday card Trump allegedly gave to Jeffrey Epstein.

President Trump announced on social media that he was authorizing Attorney General Pam Bondi to release grand jury testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein investigation, a sudden turn that falls far short of demands from within the MAGA movement for the release of all FBI files on  Epstein.
