Federal judge orders Ghislaine Maxwell-related grand jury records released
A federal judge in New York ruled Tuesday to release all grand jury materials related to Ghislaine Maxwell’s case. Judge Paul Engelmayer said he’s put mechanisms in place to “protect victims from the inadvertent release of materials within the discovery in this case that would identify them or otherwise invade their privacy.”
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of federal sex trafficking charges tied to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. She’s currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.
Bondi’s requests for release
The ruling comes days after a federal judge ordered the release of materials from the 2005-2007 grand jury investigations into Epstein. Attorney General Pam Bondi requested the materials in both cases, citing the deadline Congress set when it passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act.
The act orders the Justice Department to release all of its records related to Epstein.
Bondi also issued a separate request to unseal grand jury records in New York related to Epstein. A judge has not yet ruled on that request.
It’s not clear when the materials from both grand jury investigations will be released. However, the Epstein Files Transparency Act requires the department to release all its files by Dec. 19.
