The Justice Department said unsealing grand jury transcripts related to Epstein's case is necessary given "longstanding and legitimate" public interest in the case.

Although President Donald Trump ordered the Justice Department to request the release of more details in the probe of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, he claimed Saturday that the move may do little to quell the outspoken criticism of his administration's handling of the case.

Trump's post comes after the Justice Department asked federal judges to unseal the grand jury testimonies in the criminal case of Jeffrey Epstein.

Plus, the Republican-led House passed a $9 billion package that includes spending cuts to NPR and PBS, as well as foreign aid. Donald Trump is expected to sign the measure.
