Justice Dept. Seeks Epstein Files Transparency

The Justice Department, under a new law, seeks to unseal grand jury transcripts from Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwells sex trafficking cases. The department argues that this law overrides previous court decisions to keep these materials sealed. The department has asked for expedited rulings and plans to release these materials by December nineteenth, with potential redactions to protect victims identities. An FBI agent testified before the grand juries in both cases, leading to Maxwells indictment and Epsteins arrest before his death in jail. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
