DOJ Details Epstein, Maxwell Grand Jury Process

The Justice Department has confirmed that the grand juries indicting Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell heard testimony only from law enforcement officials, specifically an FBI agent and, in Maxwell's case, an NYPD detective, with no victims or alleged co-conspirators testifying. Most information presented to the grand juries has already been made public through court proceedings and civil litigation, meaning unsealed transcripts are unlikely to contain significant new revelations. The move to unseal these records comes amid controversy over the government's decision not to release more Epstein files, following pressure from President Trump's supporters. The DOJ has now notified nearly all referenced victims about the unsealing motion after an initial oversight. Legal experts note that grand jury proceedings often require only limited evidence for indictments, explaining the absence of broader testimony. While public interest could justify release, experts warn the content is unlikely to reveal more about Epstein's wider network.
