A federal judge has ordered the release of grand jury materials in the prosecution of Ghislaine Maxwell, a longtime confidant to the deceased convicted pedophile, Jeffrey Epstein.
In a 24-page order released on Tuesday, U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer granted the Justice Department’s request, complying with The Epstein Files Transparency Act — Congress’ directive to publicly release the government’s files on the wealthy financier.
The decision comes as the Department of Justice (DOJ) is facing a December 19th deadline to provide Epstein-related records to the public through a searchable format.
Last week, a judge in Florida approved the agency’s request to release files from a federal grand jury probe in the two thousands.
A similar request regarding a 2019 sex trafficking case is still pending.
