The Justice Department requested a federal court to unseal grand jury transcripts connected to Jeffrey Epstein's case, coinciding with President Trump's order. This request followed controversy over the Trump administration's handling of Epstein-related records, particularly regarding a reported letter signed by Trump. The Justice Department plans to work with New York prosecutors to redact sensitive information prior to the release. Typically, grand jury transcripts are not made public unless required for a judicial proceeding, and unsealing may involve lengthy legal disputes.
The Justice Department asked a federal court to unseal grand jury transcripts in the Epstein case after President Trump directed the department to do so.
Trump's demand for the release of the grand jury transcripts followed a report on a sexually suggestive letter included in Epstein's 50th birthday album.
The Justice Department will collaborate with prosecutors to make appropriate redactions to protect victim-related and personally identifying information before any transcripts are released.
Grand jury transcripts are rarely unsealed and typically require legal proceedings to justify their disclosure.
