'Always Be More, More...': Donald Trump Lashes Out Amid Mounting Pressure On Epstein Files Release


(MENAFN- Live Mint) Donald Trump lashed out on Saturday that even if the courts release the grand jury transcripts in the cases pertaining to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein,“nothing will be good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics.”

“It will always be more, more, more. MAGA!” Trump wrote on Truth Social, claiming that he has“asked the Justice Department to release all Grand Jury testimony with respect to Jeffrey Epstein, subject only to Court Approval.”

Donald Trump's latest post about the Jeffrey Epstein files comes a day after the US Department of Justice asked federal judges to unseal the grand jury testimonies in the criminal cases, following a request by the POTUS.

Trump has been facing mounting pressure - even from some of his loyal supporters - to release files related to Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 after being arrested on federal child sex trafficking charges.

'Release whatever is credible'

Earlier, Donald Trump had made similar claims about having asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to release the Epstein files. The POTUS's latest request, however, was slightly different.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump, on Tuesday, said he has urged Attorney General Pam Bondi to release“whatever she thinks is credible.”
