Deputy Attorney General Todd Blancing submitted a resolution at the Manhattan Federal Court, in which a judge urged Epstein’s 2019 Grand Jury proceedings to issue tapes and as a new transparency by the department, the prosecution of Epstein’s Ghisle Maxwell.
Earlier this month, DOJ and FBI released a memorandum that described the “entire review” of their Epstein search files.

While the department maintains that it stands by the findings of the memo, the filing emphasizes that “transparency for the American public is extremely important for this administration.” Given the intensive public interest, the DOJ told the court that it was moving forward to ignore the grand jury tape inherent to throw light on its investigative work in the Epstein case.
The DOJ said it would work with the prosecutors to separate all the aggrieved names and personal identity information from the transcript before any release.
“In this process, transparency will not be at the cost of our obligation under the law to protect the victims,” the proposal assured.
Epstein, 66, was included in allegations of sex trafficking on 2 July 2019 by New York Grand Jury. After a month, on August 10, 2019, he died of suicide in his jail cell, waiting for the trial, and the case was dismissed.

Epstein’s prolonged confidant, Ghislane Maxwell, in 2020, was accused by a grand jury in several cases related to smuggling and forced minors.
He was convicted in December 2021 and sentenced to 20 years in jail. The convicts of Maxwell were upheld on the appeal in 2024, and are filing a petition in the US Supreme Court to review their case.
The proceedings of the Grand Jury are usually secret by the law, or as the proposal states, “A tradition of law that is generally secret in front of a grand jury.” But the filing notes this tradition “is not absolute.”
Federal courts have recognized “certain special circumstances”, where releasing a grand jury records is also appropriate outside the general exceptions, such as when a case has a significant public or historical significance.

DOJ argues that Epstein’s case is absolutely special situation that is looking at its unique notorious.
“Public officials, MPs, pundits and common citizens are deeply interested in the Epstein case,” motion note.
Proposals suggest that a Florida judge ordered to release some Epstein Grand Jury Records after concluding the financer last year, “the most infamous pedophile in American history was” and Epstin’s fact “tells the story of” national insult “.”
From DOJ account, seal gorgeous jury tape “are important pieces of an important moment in our country’s history,” and “and” and “and”[t]It is time for the public to guess what they have. ,
The proposal has been emphasized that Epstein’s death means that any privacy interest from his side has “reduced to a great extent.” And even though Maxwell is still fighting his sentence, the prosecutors said that the extraordinary public inquiry around the Epstein saga now justifies further pressing with unsolding.
For these reasons, the DOJ is urging the court to conclude that Epstein and Maxwell cases are eligible as public interest cases and provide gorgeous jury tapes to raise any protective orders.
