Context
Recently, the administration of US President Donald Trump appealed to the court with a request to allow the unsealing of grand jury testimony in the case of convicted sex offender financier Jeffrey Epstein. This statement came amid dissatisfaction from some of Trump's supporters, caused by a recent Department of Justice report stating that there is no evidence to support long-standing conspiracy theories related to the case.
The other day, Donald Trump sued media mogul Rupert Murdoch and two Wall Street Journal journalists. The head of the White House accuses them of defamation over a publication claiming that he allegedly sent Jeffrey Epstein - a convicted sex offender - a letter with an obscene drawing.
Recall
The US Department of Justice and the FBI concluded that Jeffrey Epstein did not blackmail influential people and did not keep a "client list."
