Judge rejects unsealing Ghislaine Maxwell grand jury transcripts

Judge Denies Request to Unseal Transcripts: A federal judge in New York rejected the Justice Department's request to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, citing the long-standing policy of grand jury secrecy.

Concerns Over Transparency Motives: The judge suggested that the Justice Department's push for unsealing was more about public relations than revealing new information, indicating that it might create an illusion of transparency rather than actual disclosure.
