"I do not see a scenario where Donald Trump spends one minute in jail."

"I would be surprised if we see a sentence of incarceration... [Trump] has no criminal record, it's a nonviolent crime."

"[T]here's no guarantees [Judge Merchan will not sentence Trump]."

"He could go to jail."

"I believe, if convicted, a sentence of incarceration is warranted and justified."

The judges "would likely sentence him to a term of incarceration."

"[I]t is substantially likely Judge Merchan will sentence Trump to jail or prison time."

"I think he almost definitely will receive a prison sentence... I could see Judge Merchan sentencing him to 24 months in jail."

Will Donald Trump Be Jailed or Incarcerated Before 2030?

U.S. President Donald Trump on Thursday directed Attorney General Pam Bondi to seek court approval for releasing grand jury testimony related to Jeffrey Epstein, following sustained pressure from supporters demanding transparency in the case.

The directive came after the Justice Department released a memo stating <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="https://www.verity.news/story/2025/fbi-doj-conclude-epstein-had-no-client-list-committed-suicide">Epstein had no blackmail "client list,"</a> did not extort prominent figures, and died by suicide.

The directive came after the Justice Department released a memo stating Epstein had no blackmail "client list," did not extort prominent figures, and died by suicide.

In a post on X, Bondi announced that the Justice Department was "ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts."

Trump vehemently denied writing the letter, calling it "FAKE" and threatening to sue The Wall Street Journal, News Corp, and its owner, Rupert Murdoch, for publishing what he termed a "false, malicious, and defamatory" story.

The process to unseal grand jury materials can potentially take weeks or months and requires court approval under narrowly defined circumstances.

Trump's sudden pivot to releasing grand jury testimony appears to be damage control after his administration failed to deliver on promises of major Epstein revelations. The timing, coinciding with the embarrassing Wall Street Journal report, suggests an attempt to distract from uncomfortable questions about his past relationship with Epstein. His threats to sue the newspaper raise questions about what he's trying to hide.

Trump's decisive action to release Epstein's grand jury testimony demonstrates his commitment to transparency and ending the Democrat-manufactured controversy. The Wall Street Journal's publication of a fake letter shows the mainstream media's desperation to damage Trump with fabricated stories. This move will finally put to rest the baseless conspiracy theories and expose the hoax for what it really is.
