Epstein and Maxwell Grand Jury Transcripts Include Testimony From only Two Witnesses, Justice Department Says | News Channel 3-12
NEW YORK, JUL 30 – The Justice Department seeks to unseal grand jury transcripts from Epstein and Maxwell cases amid political pressure, though only two witnesses testified, officials said.
- On July 18, 2025, the Department of Justice filed in Manhattan federal court to unseal transcripts of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell testimonies, citing "abundant public interest."
- Amid mounting demands, Trump’s administration urged two judges to release testimony related to Epstein and Maxwell in recent months.
- Administration lawyers wrote in a Tuesday memorandum that one witness and a detective testified, with many victims’ accounts matching their testimonies, according to the Justice Department.
- Tuesday’s filing followed initial DOJ motions deemed lacking by Manhattan-based U.S. District Judges Richard Berman and Paul Engelmayer, with the memo now stating it “has now” notified victims.
- Meanwhile, U.S. Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer and Democrats invoked a century-old law to compel the Justice Department to release Epstein documents by August 5.
