NEW YORK (RTWNews) — A federal judge announced on Tuesday that the Justice Department is authorized to publicly release investigative materials related to the sex trafficking case against Ghislaine Maxwell, a close associate of notorious financier Jeffrey Epstein. Judge Paul A. Engelmayer issued this ruling after the Justice Department filed a request last November to unseal an array of documents including grand jury transcripts and exhibits pertaining to both Maxwell and Epstein's cases. Following the recent passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, this ruling opens the door to the disclosure of potentially hundreds, if not thousands, of previously unreleased documents. The new law mandates that the Justice Department make Epstein-related records accessible to the public in a searchable format by December 19, allowing for greater public scrutiny of these high-profile cases.
