@sacramentourbanmedia916: A federal judge on Tuesday approved the Justice Department’s bid to release a large collection of grand jury transcripts and evidence from the New York sex-trafficking case involving #GhislaineMaxwell, a longtime associate of the late convicted offender Jeffrey Epstein. U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer signed off on the request after the DOJ renewed its push to make the records public, following the passage of a new law—approved by Congress and signed by President Trump—that compels the department to disclose materials tied to past Epstein investigations. Engelmayer noted that the Epstein Files Transparency Act “clearly covers” not only the grand jury testimony and evidence in the Maxwell case but also a wide range of other materials, including unclassified documents, communications, investigative files, and additional discovery held by the Justice Department.
