Justice Department Seeks to Unseal Epstein, Maxwell Grand Jury Records: Reactions and Concerns
The Justice Department has requested a court to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell following the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The act mandates the release of all unclassified Epstein-related records within 30 days. The Department’s motion, signed by key officials, seeks to lift protective orders to comply with the Act while redacting sensitive information. This effort follows a previous denial by a New York judge and the ongoing investigations into Epstein’s sex trafficking crimes.
