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 formally asked a federal judge to unseal transcripts from grand jury proceedings involving convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

The Justice Department's July 18 motion to release Epstein grand jury transcripts followed a request Trump made to Attorney General Pam Bondi.

The Department of Justice and FBI's memo on the federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein has reignited criticism from some of President Donald Trump's supporters over information released in the case involving one of the most infamous sex trafficking criminals in modern history.

There was no specific reason given for Maurene Comey's firing from the US attorney’s office in the Southern District of New York, according to a person who spoke to the Associated Press.

The U.S. Department of Justice has fired Maurene Comey, the daughter of former FBI director James Comey and a federal prosecutor who worked on cases against Sean “Diddy” Combs and Jeffrey Epstein.

A handful of congressional Republicans have raised questions about the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein case.

Democrats urged the Republican majority to call Justice Department officials, including the attorney general and F.B.I. leaders, to Capitol Hill to discuss how they handled the Jeffrey Epstein case.
