Judge denies release of Jeffrey Epstein transcripts in Florida
Briefly

A Florida federal judge denied a request to unseal grand jury transcripts in the investigation of Jeffrey Epstein. President Trump called for transparency regarding Epstein's case, accused of sexually trafficking children. Judge Robin Rosenberg ruled her hands were tied by Eleventh Circuit law, which restricts granting such requests. Parallel motions are under consideration in New York, where judges are asking the Justice Department to justify releasing the transcripts. The DOJ previously sought transcripts from 2005 and 2007, while Epstein's associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, serves a 20-year sentence for related charges.
