The Department of Justice, or DOJ, is once again asking judges to authorize the release of grand jury material related to the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell cases. This is a bit of a deja vu moment, as it seems like the same tactics are being employed again. The focus, as before, is on grand jury transcripts and exhibits. However, many people aren’t convinced this is the entire story or even the most relevant information.
The core of the issue, as many see it, isn’t about the grand jury material. It’s about the underlying evidence, witness testimonies, and other crucial documents that the DOJ holds.… Continue reading
Judge Michael Nachmanoff is expected to determine whether to release the full grand jury record in the case against James Comey, following a magistrate judge’s concerns about the prosecution’s conduct.
