Highlights:
- Dershowitz Points to Courts: Says two Manhattan judges—not Trump or Bondi—are blocking Epstein records.
- Trump Pushes for Transparency: President orders DOJ to seek court approval to unseal grand jury testimony.
- Bondi Confirms Action: DOJ prepared to file motion to release transcripts amid growing public pressure.
Legal scholar Alan Dershowitz is pushing back against claims that the Trump administration or Attorney General Pam Bondi are responsible for withholding key details in the Jeffrey Epstein case. Instead, Dershowitz says the real obstruction is coming from the courts.
“Many of the things that are being suppressed are being suppressed by two judges in Manhattan,” Dershowitz stated, pointing the finger directly at the judiciary.
This statement comes as President Donald Trump and Bondi move to unseal grand jury testimony related to Epstein, the disgraced financier who was charged with sex-trafficking minors and died in federal custody in 2019. Trump announced earlier this week that he instructed Bondi to file a motion asking the court to release the records, saying the American people deserve full transparency.
“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,” Trump wrote on Truth Social.
Bondi confirmed the plan, saying, “President Trump – we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts.”
Dershowitz’s remarks add a new layer to the debate, suggesting that unelected judges—not the administration—are the ones keeping the Epstein files sealed. For many conservatives demanding answers, the question now is clear: Why are Manhattan judges blocking the truth? The push for transparency continues, and Trump’s team says they are ready to fight to bring everything into the light.
