The Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a court document emphasizing the importance of releasing grand jury transcripts from the high-profile cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
In court filings, the DOJ argues that the files must be released because it is in the public interest.
The filing, submitted on Tuesday in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York, follows a previous court ruling where a judge in Florida rejected the DOJ’s attempt to release grand jury materials in a separate request.
This new motion comes after the DOJ faced questions from a judge regarding the release of these transcripts.
The transcripts are highly sought after due to the ongoing public fascination with the case.
In the filing, DOJ lawyers revealed that only one witness, an FBI agent, appeared during Epstein’s grand jury proceedings.
Similarly, during Maxwell’s grand jury proceedings, there were two witnesses: the same FBI agent and a detective from the New York City Police Department (NYPD).
The NYPD detective was part of the FBI’s Child Exploitation and Human Trafficking Task Force.
The DOJ’s filing noted that much of the testimony from Epstein’s victims, which was part of the grand jury proceedings, has already been made public through trials and civil lawsuits.
However, the DOJ also expressed a willingness to redact sensitive details, particularly victim-related information, to protect privacy.
“Many of the victims whose accounts relating to Epstein and Maxwell were the subject of grand jury testimony testified at trial consistent with the accounts described by an FBI agent and the detective from the NYPD in the grand jury,” the DOJ stated.

Release ALL the files.
The more I dwell on this, maybe this whole epstein file thing is a Red Herring crossed with a ‘rope-a-dope’.
Dunno. Better be: I’m tired of reading about it.
Which judge controls the sealing/unsealing?
I’m so tired of the “release ALL the files” claptrap that fails to recognize valid privacy and defamation issues as well as the fact that some records are still court sealed.
Nobody in the DOJ can wave a magic wand and make it happen.
For Trump, it was all about scheme to get the evidence released. Since he is more than likely noncriminally involved, it serves to have any evidenced released. However, to have had it released to early would have allowed political interference.
Personally, I’m now suspecting that the intent was to keep it wrapped up in the courts until this time next year (mid-terms).
DOJ has plenty they can release. Start with the prison videos Blondibondi promised but never showed up
Exactly! This is the dumbest thing Trump has done to not release every dang file. This is not necessary to still be a thing a month after bondi’s press conference. Grand jury stuff is not enough.
Oh please. Cross off the names of the victims and release the entire thing.
The problem here is that “public interest” isn’t one of the reasons our law provides for breaching grand jury secrecy.
