Federal Judge Issues Major Ruling In Ghislaine Maxwell Case

Posted • December 9, 2025: A federal judge on Tuesday ordered the release of grand jury testimony in the case of Ghislaine Maxwell, sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice. Maxwell is currently serving out a 20-year sentence in federal prison. From NBC News: A federal judge in New York on Tuesday granted a Justice Department request to release grand jury material related to Ghislaine Maxwell's case. Judge Paul Engelmayer said in his ruling Tuesday that he’s taken great care to “put in place a mechanism to protect victims from the inadvertent release of materials within the discovery in this case that would identify them or otherwise invade their privacy.” Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of federal sex trafficking charges. She is serving a 20-year prison sentence. Tuesday's ruling comes days after a federal judge in Florida also ordered the release of grand jury investigations into Jeffrey Epstein from 2005 and 2007.

Both rulings came after Congress passed a law last month ordering the Justice Department to release all of its records related to Epstein. Another judge has yet to rule in a separate request to unseal grand jury records in New York related to Epstein, who died in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges. The effort to unseal Maxwell’s grand jury materials came after public and congressional pressure for transparency regarding Epstein’s sex trafficking operation. Congress passed the “Epstein Files Transparency Act” last month, which directed the Justice Department to release as much information about Epstein as possible. 🚨 Emails reveal Epstein not only pumped $ into both Bill & Hillary's campaigns and flew Bill on his private jet, but also met w/ Clinton several times b/t 2006-2008 and had his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell arrange free flights and luxury gifts for Clinton's body man Doug Band.
