US President Donald Trump says he's ordered the justice department to produce some additional documents related to sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, BBC reported.

"Based on the ridiculous amount of publicity given to Jeffrey Epstein, I have asked Attorney General Pam Bondi to produce any and all pertinent Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval," Trump said in a social media post.

It's unclear whether Trump is authorising the public release of these documents or when that could come - though such action would typically require the approval of a court.

The development comes after days of sustained pressure from some of Trump's most loyal supporters demanding further disclosures in the Epstein case, according to BBC.
