Justice Department asks court to unseal Jeffrey Epstein grand jury records

UNITED STATES, JUL 18 – The Justice Department seeks to unseal grand jury transcripts from Jeffrey Epstein's prosecution to address public demand for transparency amid controversy over his death and alleged ties.

  • On July 18, 2025, the Justice Department filed a request in a Manhattan federal court to make public grand jury transcripts related to the Jeffrey Epstein case.
  • This action came after President Donald Trump instructed Attorney General Pam Bondi to share relevant grand jury evidence, pending approval from the court, amidst ongoing political disputes.
  • The Justice Department plans redactions of victim-related and personal information before release, while hundreds of related documents have already been made public in the ongoing investigation.
  • A day following President Trump's directive, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche submitted requests asking the court to unseal transcripts linked to both Jeffrey Epstein and convicted British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell.
  • The request intensifies scrutiny on the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files and could take weeks or months of legal review before any transcripts are released.
