WASHINGTON (AP) — Under intense pressure from President Donald Trump’s own supporters, his administration now says it will push a court to unseal secret documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s case in an effort to put to rest for good a political crisis largely of its own making.

Donald Trump's aides were expected on Friday to ask a court to release grand jury testimony about Jeffrey Epstein, as the president fought back against concerns over his administration's handling of the deceased convicted sex offender's case.

President Donald Trump's name was mentioned nine times across the hundreds of pages in the “phase one" release of the Epstein files.
