Federal Judge Grants Request To Unseal Ghislaine Maxwell Case Records

A federal judge says the Justice Department can publicly release investigative materials from a sex trafficking case against Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime confidante of Jeffrey Epstein. Judge Paul A. Engelmayer ruled Tuesday after the Justice Department in November asked two judges in New York to unseal grand jury transcripts and exhibits, along with investigative materials that could amount to hundreds or thousands of previously unreleased documents. He’s the second judge to allow the Justice Department to publicly disclose previously secret Epstein-related records.
