Trump's sudden push to release the Epstein grand jury transcripts is mostly about seizing the narrative and reassuring his base, especially after headlines resurfaced his old connections to Epstein and the Wall Street Journal reported on a "bawdy" letter Trump allegedly wrote to Epstein years ago.
He’s trying to look transparent and proactive, framing it as fighting a “scam” against him and blaming Democrats, but he's also betting the transcripts won’t reveal anything directly damaging about him before a judge even decides if they’ll be unsealed at all.
It’s a classic Trump move—flip the controversy, go on offense, and flood the zone with counter-allegations, all while maintaining legal and political cover if nothing actually gets released.
