In a step aimed at solving public pressure and criticism of US President Donald Trump, two federal judges asked to attack a large jury in cases of trading sex Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The application comes in the middle of a renewed controversy concerning the connection of the late financier and the recent recognition of the Ministry of Justice of the US that there is no definitive “Epstein list of clients”.
Required to intensify transparency
Late Tuesday evening federal prosecutors filed proposals with US district judges Richard Berman and Paul Engelmayer on Manhattan and urged them to allow the release of confidential transcripts with a large jury. The prosecutors claimed that the “abundant public interest” in the matter of Epstein-Maxwell justified the justification of the usual secrets around the management of a large jury.
Following efforts follow Trump’s public promise to declassify the documents related to Epstein if they are re -elected. At the beginning of this month, Trump ordered the General Prosecutor Pam Bondi to promote the release of the Grand Jury Materials materials, a step stimulated by the announcement that there is no incriminating list of clients-reporting, which has been angry with many conservative supporters of Trump who suspects.
While the proceedings with a large jury usually remain sealed to protect the integrity of the investigation, exceptions can be done if the public interest outweighs concern for personal data protection.
Maxwell tries to turn over beliefs
Ghislaine Maxwell, who, after her conviction of 2021, is currently sentenced to a 20 -year sentence in Florida’s prison for trading in Florida, has appealed at the US Supreme Court, which tried to turn her conviction. She begged that she didn’t blame.
Meanwhile, the representative of the US General Prosecutor Todd Blanch – formerly Trump’s personal lawyer – recently met Maxwell to assess whether to hold information implizing another individual. Maxwell’s lawyer, David Markus, did not publish the content of these discussions.
Effort to store blocked
Last week, US district judge Robin Rosenberg in Florida rejected a separate request to impose records from earlier Grand Jury investigations dating back to 2005 and 2007. The judge concluded that the case had not met a narrow legal norm that would allow such material to be released.
These earlier investigation culminated in Epstein’s controversial agreement on the 2008 lawsuits, in which he admitted accusations of prostitution at state level and served only 13 months.
