US EditionJudge grants Justice Department request to unseal records from Epstein’s 2019 sex trafficking case
The Epstein Files Transparency Act mandates public release of grand jury materials with victim identities protected; about 70 pages are expected to be unsealed in this case.
- On Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman ruled that secret grand jury transcripts from Jeffrey Epstein's 2019 sex trafficking case can be made public, reversing his earlier decision.
- After the Epstein Files Transparency Act passed, the Justice Department requested lifting secrecy orders since the law, signed by President Donald Trump last month, created a narrow exception to grand jury confidentiality.
- The court limited how the 70 pages of grand jury materials may be shared, and the judge cautioned they are hardly revelatory.
- Joining other rulings, the judge's order adds to a series of unsealing orders that include a Tuesday Manhattan federal judge's release of Ghislaine Maxwell's 2021 records and last week's Florida judge approval to unseal transcripts from an abandoned 2000s grand jury probe.
- Citing a new law, the judge said the government must open files on Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, reversing an earlier secrecy order.
