US President Donald Trump says he has asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce all pertinent grand jury testimony in the Jeffrey Epstein case, subject to court approval.

“Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval. This SCAM, perpetuated by the Democrats, should end, right now!” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

Shortly after, Bondi said on social media platform X that the Justice Department was ready to move the court on Friday, US time, to unseal the grand jury transcripts.

“President Trump - we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts,” Bondi wrote.

Trump has been facing pressure from some of his supporters and renewed public scrutiny on the convicted sex offender’s connections to powerful figures.

It comes as a collection of letters gifted to Jeffrey Epstein for his 50th birthday in 2003 has been publicised by the Wall Street Journal.

Among the letters was one bearing Donald Trump’s name and an outline of a naked woman, the journal reported.

The drawing, depicting a woman’s breasts and a “Donald” signature in the place of pubic hair, surrounded several lines of typewritten text, according to the newspaper, which reviewed the letter. It concluded with the line: “Happy Birthday — and may every day be another wonderful secret.”

Trump in an interview with the Journal on Tuesday denied that he wrote the letter or drew the picture and threatened to sue the newspaper if it published the story.

“I never wrote a picture in my life. I don’t draw pictures of women,” he said, according to the Journal.

“It’s not my language. It’s not my words.”

Before ordering the release of the transcripts, Trump vowed to sue The Wall Street Journal and Rupert Murdoch, saying that he and White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt had warned them about publishing the story and that the letter was “fake”.

Epstein, a wealthy financier, was facing federal charges of sex trafficking minors when he died by suicide in jail in 2019. He had pleaded not guilty, and the case was dismissed after his death.

The topic returned to the news last week after the Trump administration reversed course on its pledge to release documents it had previously suggested would offer major revelations about Epstein and his alleged clientele.

Earlier on Thursday, Trump’s press secretary told reporters he would not recommend appointing a special prosecutor in the Epstein case.

“The president would not recommend a special prosecutor in the Epstein case. That’s how he feels,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said.

Leavitt said Trump had already directed the Justice Department and Attorney General Pam Bondi to conduct an “exhaustive review of all files”, dismissing the renewed interest in Epstein as politically motivated and accusing Democrats of ignoring the issue during their time in power.

On Wednesday, Trump attacked supporters who have been critical of his administration’s handling of the Epstein case.

“Let these weaklings continue forward and do the Democrats work, don’t even think about talking of our incredible and unprecedented success, because I don’t want their support anymore!” Trump said on his platform Truth Social.

Later in the day, he said Bondi should release whatever she thinks is credible.

“Whatever’s credible, she can release,” he told reporters. “If a document’s there that’s credible, she can release. I think it’s good.”
