- Amid debates over transparency, two U.S. District Judges are weighing the government’s bid to unseal grand jury transcripts, with Judge Berman setting a Monday deadline.
- Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred last week to a Texas minimum-security prison after DOJ interviews and is appealing to the Supreme Court, arguing Epstein’s 2007 nonprosecution agreement should apply.
