DOJ Renews Bid To Unseal Epstein & Ghislaine Maxwell Grand Jury Materials

The Justice Department has renewed its request to unseal transcripts of grand jury proceedings that led to sex trafficking charges against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. In a court filing Monday, federal prosecutors argued that the materials should be made public under a new law requiring the government to open up its files on the late financier and his longtime confidante. Manhattan U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton cited the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law last week by President Donald Trump, in court filings asking federal judges to reconsider their prior decisions to keep the material sealed.
