Lawsuit Seeks to Uncover Trump Administration’s Epstein File Handling
A federal judge denied the Justice Department’s motion to unseal Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury transcripts, viewing the DOJ’s transparency claims as insincere. This rejection highlights a new lawsuit filed by Democracy Forward, aiming to uncover the Trump administration’s handling of the Epstein matter. The lawsuit, filed in Washington, D.C., seeks to compel the government to comply with the Freedom of Information Act regarding communications and records. Democracy Forward alleges the government violated FOIA by not expediting their requests due to the widespread public interest and potential integrity concerns surrounding the Epstein case.
