US EditionUS judge rejects bid to unseal Epstein grand jury transcripts from Florida probe
FLORIDA, JUL 24 – U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenberg cited 11th Circuit precedent to keep Epstein grand jury transcripts sealed despite DOJ citing public interest and political pressure from Trump's base.
- A US judge denied a recent request from the Trump-era Justice Department to make public grand jury transcripts from the 2000s Florida investigation into Jeffrey Epstein.
- The request followed pressure from Trump's MAGA supporters demanding disclosure amid conspiracy theories about Epstein's death and alleged shielded clients.
- Judge Robin Rosenberg ruled that secrecy rules govern grand jury materials, and the government's argument for transparency did not meet legal exceptions.
- Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to state charges of soliciting a minor, served jail time, died by suicide in 2019, and associate Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted and sentenced to 20 years.
- The ruling delays access to Epstein records, stalling legislative efforts and fueling political controversy around alleged high-profile involvement and conspiracy claims.
