Federal Judge Rules Secret Grand Jury Transcripts from Jeffrey Epsteins Case Can Be Made PublicA federal judge has ruled that secret grand jury transcripts from Jeffrey Epsteins 2019 sex trafficking case can be made public, joining two other judges in granting the Justice Departments requests. This move comes after a new law was passed, requiring the government to open its files on Epstein and his associate, Ghislaine Maxwell. The judge reversed his earlier decision, citing the new law, which creates a specific exception to the usual rules that keep grand jury proceedings confidential. Meanwhile, another Manhattan federal judge ordered the release of records from Maxwells 2021 sex trafficking case, and a judge in Florida approved the unsealing of transcripts from an abandoned federal grand jury investigation into Epstein. The Justice Department must make Epstein-related materials public by December 19th, following the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
