NEWS ALERT: Federal judge rules DOJ can unseal records from Ghislaine Maxwell case

1

From the New York Post: A Manhattan federal judge on Tuesday ordered the release of grand jury records tied to the criminal case of notorious pedophile Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell — but warned that the material would not yield “new information of any consequence.”

Federal prosecutors must publish the records — including search warrants and grand jury testimony — because of the law President Trump signed last month compelling the release of all Epstein-related documents, Judge Paul Engelmayer found.

But the judge cautioned that the new records would not reveal any bombshells to members of the public that followed Maxwell’s 2021 trial, where she was convicted of multiple sex crimes for helping Epstein abuse girls as young as 14.

The Maxwell grand jury records are only a fraction of the vast trove of material that the Justice Department and FBI collected during their investigations into Epstein.


The Associated Press further explained:

Engelmayer, in Manhattan, ruled Tuesday after the Justice Department had asked judges in the wake of the law’s passage last month to lift secrecy orders in Maxwell’s and Epstein’s cases that had kept some records under wraps. A request to unseal records from Epstein’s 2019 sex trafficking case is pending.

Maxwell, 63, was transferred this summer to a low-security prison in Texas, where she is serving out a 20-year sentence for sex-trafficking of minors.

ABOUT THIS JUDGE: Judge Paul Engelmayer, 64, was appointed in February 2011 by President Barack Obama. He was confirmed by the Senate in a 98-0 vote in July 2011.
