President Donald Trump made a beeline past reporters who attempted to ask questions ostensibly about sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein following a bill signing ceremony Friday.
One reporter shouted a question about Trump's directive to unseal grand jury testimony regarding his former associate.
"Mr. President, why not go further than just unsealing —" she shouted before her audio cut out.
On Thursday, Trump ordered Attorney General Pam Bondi to "produce any and all Grand Jury testimony, subject to Court approval," regarding Epstein.
Bondi then posted to social media, "President Trump—we are ready to move the court tomorrow to unseal the grand jury transcripts."
Trump is currently under immense scrutiny for his association with Epstein, which threatens to derail his presidency.
Earlier, as he wielded a thick, black marker during the signing of the GENIUS Act regulating cryptocurrency, Trump quipped, "This is not an autopen, by the way," causing the room to erupt in laughter.
Trump continued, "Which is a big scandal. If that were a Republican, it would be a really big scandal. But it is one of the great scandals of our time."
The president has vowed to investigate former President Joe Biden's use of an autopen, claiming it was indicative of a cover-up of Biden's mental decline.
