Bipartisan pressure is mounting over the limited scope of the Justice Department's disclosures regarding Epstein.

WASHINGTON, July 17 (Reuters) - U.S. President Donald Trump's administration will ask a court to allow the release of grand jury testimony in the case of deceased convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, after some of his supporters reacted in fury to a report concluding there was no evidence to support long-running theories about his case.

The attorney general plans to ask a court to release the papers. But even if the request succeeds, it would fall far short of critics’ demands to release all investigative materials.

It’s the story that continues to grip Washington: the Trump administration’s handling of the so-called Epstein files. The potential ripple effects could be significant. Trump’s lawsuit could become the most important legal clash yet between Trump and the press,

President Trump filed a $10 billion dollar libel lawsuit over the Wall Street Journal’s report on Jeffrey Epstein. It comes after a rare reversal from Trump, who is now calling for the release of grand jury material in the Epstein case.
