Ghislaine Maxwell

Federal judges in New York granted the Justice Department’s requests to unseal grand‑jury and investigative records tied to the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell probes under the new Epstein Files Transparency Act — including roughly 70 pages from the 2019 Epstein grand jury and a voluminous set of Maxwell materials (search warrants, financial records, survivor interview notes and device data) — while ordering redactions to protect victims and sensitive information. DOJ argued the law overrides traditional grand‑jury secrecy and sought expedited rulings to meet the statute’s public‑release timeline (aiming for disclosures by Dec. 19), even as victims and Maxwell’s counsel warned about privacy and potential prejudice.
