Justice Department seeks to unseal Epstein and Maxwell grand jury records

The Justice Department has filed a motion to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex trafficking cases, following the enactment of the Epstein Files Transparency Act. This law mandates the release of unclassified records within 30 days. The motion seeks to lift protective orders preventing disclosure and includes provisions for redacting personal information. This request comes after previous attempts to unseal records were denied by a New York judge.
