DOJ asks judges to authorize release of Epstein and Maxwell grand jury material

The Department of Justice has asked two federal judges in the Southern District of New York to authorize the release of grand jury transcripts and exhibits from the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell prosecutions, citing a 30-day deadline under the newly enacted Epstein Files Transparency Act.

U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton filed the motions seeking permission to disclose the materials with appropriate redactions, including sensitive victim information.

One judge, Paul Engelmayer, set early-December deadlines for Maxwell and her victims to state their positions before he rules by mid-December.

This request follows an earlier failed DOJ attempt in August, when judges ruled the government had not shown sufficient legal basis for unsealing the grand jury records, ABC News has reported.

At that time, Judge Richard Berman criticized DOJ for focusing on grand jury transcripts rather than the broader body of Epstein-related materials already in its possession.
