A US federal judge has ruled to release grand jury transcripts and exhibits from Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal case, paving the way for public access to details surrounding the convicted associate of infamous financier and sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, according to a court filing published on Tuesday.
Judge Paul A. Engelmayer explained in the order that the Department of Justice asked the court to clarify whether the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by US President Donald Trump on November 19, covers the grand jury transcripts and exhibits in the sex trafficking case of Maxwell, paving the way to their public release.
