WASHINGTON (AP) — Under intense pressure from President Donald Trump’s own supporters, his administration now says it will push a court to unseal secret documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s case in an effort to put to rest for good a political crisis largely of its own making.

The Trump administration’s chaotic handling of the so-called Jeffrey Epstein files continued Friday as the Justice Department asked a federal judge to make public years-old grand jury testimony made behind closed doors against the convicted sex offender.

The Justice Department on Friday asked a federal court to release grand jury transcripts connected to former financier Jeffrey Epstein, responding to a growing political outcry over the agency’s unfulfilled promise to release more details on the matter.
