Justice Department can unseal records from Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 sex trafficking case, judge rules
In New York, a judge ruled that the confidential grand‑jury transcripts from Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 sex‑trafficking case can now be made public. This decision joins two other judges who had already approved the Justice Department’s requests to unseal documents related to the late financier’s alleged abuse. U.S. District Judge Richard M. Berman reversed his earlier stance of keeping the material sealed, citing a new law that obliges the government to release its files on Epstein and longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell. He had previously warned that the roughly 70 pages set for release would barely shed new light. On Tuesday, another Manhattan judge ordered that records from Maxwell’s 2021 sex‑trafficking case be opened, and just a week earlier, a judge in Florida approved the unsealing of transcripts from a dormant 2000s Epstein grand‑jury investigation.
