A federal judge in Florida denied a request by the Trump administration on Wednesday to unseal transcripts of grand jury proceedings related to the first criminal investigations of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein in 2005 and 2007.
U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenberg wrote that the court’s “hands are tied,” noting that the government had not requested the grand jury’s filings for use in a judicial proceeding and that district courts are typically blocked from unsealing grand jury testimony.
