Judge won’t unseal Jeffrey Epstein grand jury transcripts in Florida

On Wednesday, a Federal judge rejected the Trump administration’s request to reveal the transcripts of the big jury procedures of Jeffrey Epstein, a sex criminal in Florida in the mid -2000s.

The decision does not affect two waiting demands. Ministry of Justice Epstein and criminal partner Ghislaine Maxwell in New York are trying to get the transcripts of great jury transactions on federal investigations.

These separate transactions led to criminal indictments in 2019 and 2020, respectively at the US Regional Court in Manhattan.

Last week, the Trump administration filed a petition without realizing the transcripts of the large jury about Epstein and Maxwell.

The movement watched criticisms on the decision of President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi on the decision of Doj to give up the evidence of public investigation against Epstein despite previous promises.

Doj’s petition at the US Regional Court of Florida, West Palm Beach tried to realize the transcripts of the two Federal Great Jury gathered in this court in 2005 and 2007.

Epstein was not accused at that time, but Florida claimed that the state court accused a person under 18 years of age for prostitution. Epstein’s defense in this case was part of the agreement that he reached with the federal prosecutors who agreed to not prosecute him about Federal accusations.

Doj argued that it was appropriate to explain the transcripts that normally kept hidden because Jeffrey had a strong public interest in the historical investigation into Epstein.

The chapter also argued that in accordance with the Federal Criminal Procedure rules, “is no longer implemented”, Epstein died in 2019, “most of the rationalists supporting the great jury confidentiality”.

Judge Robin Rosenberg said that with the rejection of this petition, an indifferent decision by the 11th US Court of Appeal in 2020 does not have the authority to address the major jury records in cases where the criminal proceedings of a regional court did not cover. The circuit deals with objections from the Federal Courts in Florida, Alabama and Georgia.

In his decision on Wednesday, Rosenberg does not comply with this exception of the rule of the argument put forward by Doj.

The judge said, “The eleventh law of the circuit does not allow the court to request the government, the hands of the court – a point accepted by the government.”

However, Rosenberg stated that the exception to the privacy of the Great Jury on the grounds of a strong public interest of Doj said that only two federal appeals are recognized: 2 and 7.

The 2nd Circuit of the US Court of Appeals is discussing the cases of the Manhattan Federal Court, where Epstein and other major jury probes were made.

Doj had asked Rosenberg to transfer his petition to the Federal Court in Florida, where the 2nd Circuit will be guided by the Great Jury Explanations.

However, on Wednesday, Rosenberg rejected this request, saying that Doj did not meet the standards for such a transfer.
