Judge orders release of Epstein case grand jury transcripts in Florida.

A federal judge granted the Justice Department’s request to unseal grand jury transcripts from an investigation into Jeffrey Epstein in Florida. The request was made following the passage of a law requiring disclosure of records related to the case. The Trump administration initially faced backlash for not disclosing information on Epstein but later renewed efforts to release the transcripts after the new law was enacted. Grand juries in 2005 and 2007 investigated Epstein in Florida, where he evaded federal charges through a plea deal but was later arrested on sex trafficking charges in 2019.
