Ghislaine Maxwell's legal team contends that the grand jury testimony from her indictment should remain sealed to protect her appeal rights. The Justice Department is pressing for the release of transcripts to mitigate public demand for transparency regarding its handling of Epstein-related files. Maxwell's lawyers emphasize that the public interest in Epstein does not warrant compromising grand jury confidentiality in her active case. They stress that Maxwell is not deceased, like Epstein, and her legal options are still viable, necessitating respect for her due process rights.
"Whatever interest the public may have in Epstein, that interest cannot justify a broad intrusion into grand jury secrecy in a case where the defendant is alive, her legal options are viable, and her due process rights remain."
"Ghislaine Maxwell wants the transcripts of the testimony heard by the grand jury that indicted her to remain sealed because she doesn't know what's in them and they could hurt her appeal."
