US EditionBondi files to release sealed Epstein grand jury transcripts
The DOJ seeks to release grand jury transcripts with redactions under the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which mandates disclosure within 30 days, protecting victim privacy.
- On Friday, the DOJ filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida to unseal Epstein and Maxwell grand jury transcripts, citing the Epstein Files Transparency Act, with a quote from the Justice Department saying, `'In the light of the Act's clear mandate, the Court should authorize the Department of Justice to release the grand jury transcripts and lift any preexisting protective orders that would otherwise prevent public disclosure.'
- The Epstein Files Transparency Act requires the DOJ to publish all unclassified Epstein records within 30 days, prompting the Department to seek unsealing of grand‑jury transcripts, following Tuesday's passage and Trump's signing of the bill.
- The motion seeks to make redactions of victim-related and personal information, asking to lift protective orders, signed by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and U.S. Attorney Jason Quinones.
- Public scrutiny may intensify as disclosure could identify influential people tied to Jeffrey Epstein and reshape understanding of prosecutors’ actions following the Miami Herald reporting that led to Epstein's 2019 arrest.
- Earlier this summer, the DOJ sought similar unsealing but a July rejection by a judge cited secrecy rules, while recent tranche releases earlier this month and a July DOJ memo intensified calls for disclosure.
