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.

Trump’s decision to seek the release of grand jury transcripts but not Justice Department files comes after a recent article by the WSJ reporting on his ties to Jeffrey Epstein led many to believe the 47th US president may personally be implicated in evidence against the disgraced financier.
