On Wednesday, a federal judge has cleared the Justice Department to release secret grand jury materials from Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 sex trafficking case.
Judge Berman reversed his previous decision, citing the new law compelling the release of all material in the case.
The Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law by President Trump after receiving near-unanimous support in Congress, requires the DOJ to publicize documents regarding Epstein’s case by Dec. 19.
A federal judge in New York City ordered the release of all records from Ghislaine Maxwell’s 2021 sex trafficking case on Tuesday, citing the same law. Maxwell, widely viewed as Epstein’s accomplice, is currently serving a lengthy sentence for sex trafficking, but was moved to a nicer facility and has received perks since meeting with Trump’s number two at the DOJ, Todd Blanche.
