US EditionUS judge rejects bid to unseal Epstein grand jury transcripts from Florida probe
FLORIDA, JUL 25 – Judge Robin Rosenberg ruled that the Justice Department failed to meet federal law exceptions to release grand jury transcripts from Epstein's 2005 and 2007 Florida investigations.
- On Wednesday, Judge Rosenberg denied the DOJ’s request to unseal grand jury transcripts from 2005 and 2007 in West Palm Beach, citing Eleventh Circuit law.
- Facing public pressure, the DOJ argued that Epstein’s death earlier this month rendered grand jury secrecy rules obsolete, prompting a push for transcript release.
- Grand jury records remain shielded by strict secrecy rules, Rosenberg noted, as Eleventh Circuit law does not permit the Court to grant the Government’s request; the Court’s hands are tied.
- Following the Florida order, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer in New York denied Maxwell’s access request, and the Florida ruling does not impact two other DOJ transcript motions in New York.
- On Wednesday, the Florida judge denied the DOJ's request to unseal Epstein transcripts, citing Eleventh Circuit law that 'the court's hands are tied,' and similar requests remain pending in New York.
