Maxwell Fights Unsealing of Epstein Grand Jury Records

Ghislaine Maxwell, serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, is opposing efforts by the Justice Department and Trump administration to unseal grand jury transcripts from the Jeffrey Epstein case, arguing that disclosure would violate her due process rights and affect her ongoing appeals. Her attorneys note she has not reviewed the full grand jury material and object to releasing it while legal options remain. Prosecutors argue that most testimony is already public and only seek to unseal specific witness transcripts. The case has become politically contentious, with Maxwell reportedly seeking a pardon while cooperating with investigators. The Justice Department has stated there is no Epstein 'client list' and confirmed Epstein's death as a suicide. A decision on unsealing the documents is still pending.
