US EditionGhislaine Maxwell urges judge to reject Trump bid to release grand jury transcripts
NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, AUG 5 – Ghislaine Maxwell’s lawyers argue unsealing grand jury transcripts could harm due process and cause reputational damage while she actively appeals her 20-year sentence, court filings show.
- On Tuesday, Ghislaine Maxwell filed court papers opposing the DOJ’s motion to unseal the grand jury transcripts in her New York sex trafficking case.
- Under pressure from Republican supporters and Democratic lawmakers, last month Trump instructed Bondi to seek unsealing of grand jury materials, with prosecutors noting much surfaced at Maxwell’s 2021 trial.
- Having met for two days with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, Maxwell’s team opposed unsealing the grand jury transcripts, which her attorneys described as 'hearsay-laden' and given without her counsel present.
- The Department of Justice has petitioned Manhattan judges to approve the release of the transcripts, but whether the public will gain access remains uncertain.
- With the case before the U.S. Supreme Court, grand jury secrecy faces a landmark test, as Maxwell appeals her conviction six years after Epstein’s death and four after her trial.
