US judge rejects bid to unseal Epstein grand jury transcripts from Florida probe
FLORIDA, JUL 24 – U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenberg cited 11th Circuit precedent to keep Epstein grand jury transcripts sealed despite DOJ citing public interest and political pressure from Trump's base.
- On Wednesday, US District Judge Robin Rosenberg declined the Justice Department's plea to make public the grand jury transcripts from the 2000s Florida inquiry into Jeffrey Epstein.
- The Justice Department sought release following pressure from Trump's supporters demanding disclosures amid conspiracy theories about Epstein's death and hidden evidence.
- The court ruled that the request failed to meet legal exceptions for unsealing grand jury material, citing guidelines to maintain secrecy, and opened a new case for further arguments.
- Epstein pleaded guilty in 2008 to state prostitution charges involving a minor and served 13 months in jail, while his associate Ghislaine Maxwell was convicted and sentenced to 20 years.
- The ruling intensifies tensions within Trump's base, who accuse the government of concealing information, while legislative efforts to release documents were delayed due to early congressional summer recess.
