Although President Donald Trump ordered the Justice Department to request the release of more details in the probe of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, he claimed Saturday that the move may do little to quell the outspoken criticism of his administration’s handling of the case.
The president reiterated on social media that he asked the DOJ “to release all Grand Jury testimony with respect to Jeffrey Epstein, subject only to Court Approval.” Trump, however, lashed out against the loud voices who have called for transparency since the Justice Department and FBI issued their July 6 memo regarding their decision not to release any further files from federal investigations into the late financier.
“Even if the Court gave its full and unwavering approval, nothing will be good enough for the troublemakers and radical left lunatics making the request. It will always be more, more, more,” Trump said in his post.
Trump has downplayed the concerns from several people, including prominent Republicans and conservative pundits, that the government hasn’t done enough to get to the truth behind the sex trafficking charges issued against the financier six years ago. The Justice Department and FBI confirmed Epstein died by suicide in a Manhattan jail on Aug. 10, 2019.
