Epstein Grand Jury Records Ordered Unsealed: Justice Delayed?

A US judge has authorized the unsealing of grand jury transcripts from the 2005 and 2007 investigation into Jeffrey Epstein, following a recent congressional bill mandating the release of related files. The court order, granted in Florida, specifically applies to unclassified records pertaining to Epstein and his accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell. This decision overrides a previous rejection based on federal rules concerning grand jury materials. The Justice Department is also seeking to unseal documents from Epstein’s 2019 and Maxwell’s 2021 sex-trafficking cases in New York, further intensifying scrutiny of Epstein’s alleged abuse of underage girls and the controversial non-prosecution agreement he received in 2008.
