DOJ moves to unseal Epstein, Maxwell grand jury exhibits

NEW YORK, AUG 8 – The Justice Department requests partial unsealing of Epstein and Maxwell grand jury materials while protecting third-party identities amid victim demands for transparency.

  • The Justice Department filed on August 8 in Manhattan federal court to unseal grand jury exhibits that supported the 2019–2020 indictments against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.
  • The request follows public outcry over the DOJ's refusal to release full Epstein-related files and includes interviews with Maxwell conducted July 24–25 and other prosecution evidence.
  • Victims and lawyers urge full transparency of grand jury materials with only victims’ names redacted, while some non-victims named seek protection, and third parties are a contentious issue.
  • Annie Farmer’s attorney emphasized that those who enabled Epstein and Maxwell and have so far avoided responsibility should not have their identities protected, while a victim urged that any redactions prioritize shielding only the victims.
  • The court continues reviewing the matter, having granted the DOJ until August 14 to update judges on notifying all named individuals, making the timing of any release still uncertain.
