WASHINGTON (AP) — Under intense pressure from President Donald Trump’s own supporters, his administration now is asking a federal court to unseal secret documents related to Jeffrey Epstein’s case. It’s an effort to put to rest for good a political crisis largely of the administration’s own making. But even if those records eventually become public, it’s far from certain they will appease critics enraged over the administration’s unfulfilled promises of full transparency about the evidence against the wealthy financier. Meanwhile, the administration remains dogged by questions about its refusal to release other records in its possession.
