"The Court's hands are tied," reads the order issued by U.S. District Judge Robin L. Rosenberg, who explained that the law only allows for the release of grand jury testimony in specific situations, none of which applied to this case.

In its request, issued last Friday, the Department of Justice (DOJ) indicated that its request responded to the public interest surrounding the investigation carried out by this federal agency and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) into the case of the tycoon accused of sex trafficking and pedophilia, who died in prison.

The government also asked that if the judge was unable to decide the matter, the request be transferred to a federal court in New York where other related trials have taken place, such as that of Ghislaine Maxwell.

While the justice acknowledged the public interest in the case, she stressed that only a Supreme Court decision could allow the grand jury transcripts to be released, and rejected the Trump administration's request as meeting the legal requirements for transfer.

The decision was announced shortly before a press conference began by White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt, who said she had not had a chance to speak with Trump about the matter.

"I understand There are two other Justice Department requests pending," Leavitt added. The government's request to release the testimony came as the Epstein scandal is once again gaining attention in the U.S.after the FBI and the Department of Justice concluded in an investigation that the tycoon did not have a "list of famous clients" to blackmail.

The most staunch supporters of the Make America Great Again (MAGA) movement are dissatisfied with the findings of these investigations, since Trump, the US Attorney General, Pam Bondi, and the Deputy Director of the FBI, Dan Bongino, promised to reveal "the truth" about the case before the start of this Administration in January.
