- A federal judge refused the Trump Administration’s request to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Ghislaine Maxwell’s indictment.
- Judge Paul A. Engelmayer stressed the critical importance of keeping grand jury proceedings confidential and opposed casual exceptions.
- He questioned the foundation of the request, noting the transcripts offered no meaningful new insights into Epstein’s or Maxwell’s crimes.
- Releasing the transcripts would falsely suggest the government’s motion aimed for transparency rather than serving as a distraction.
Its entire premise—that the Maxwell grand jury materials would bring to light meaningful new information about Epstein’s and Maxwell’s crimes, or the Government’s investigation into them—is demonstrably false.— Judge Paul A. Engelmayer commented on the Trump Administration's request to unseal the grand jury transcripts.
