DOJ Requests Release of Epstein and Maxwell Grand Jury Materials

The Department of Justice has requested two judges in the Southern District of New York to authorize the release of grand jury transcripts and exhibits related to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, citing a 30-day deadline under the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The motion, signed by U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton, aims for expedited ruling while ensuring necessary redactions. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer has set deadlines for victims and Maxwell to respond, with a decision expected by mid-December. Previous attempts to unseal records were denied due to lack of legal basis, with criticisms directed at the DOJ for not providing complete information on the case.
