  • Mr. Trump claimed, `this SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!` while legal scholars warn unsealing grand jury testimony is no simple task.
  • Political allies reacted after Trump ordered the Justice Department to unseal Epstein grand jury testimony, prompting lawsuits and political backlash.
  • In the weeks ahead, Attorney General Pamela Bondi warns that the release of grand jury records could mark a political earthquake, even as investigation materials may take months to unseal.
