The U. S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has filed a request to a federal court to unseal exhibits from the grand jury investigations into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, while ensuring victim identities remain confidential. The DOJ submitted this request to U. S. District Judges Richard Berman and Paul Engelmayer, seeking to compare the grand jury exhibits with public records. They aim to notify parties whose names appear in the exhibits but not in the transcripts.
This request pertains to Epstein's 2019 criminal case, which was dropped after his death, and the case against Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking. Some evidence from both cases may overlap with what has already been made public during Maxwell's trial. The DOJ plans to clarify later which parts of the grand jury exhibits have been disclosed publicly and mentioned a need for extra time to finalize their arguments for this request. The timeline for unsealing the exhibits is currently unclear.
