US judge denies bid to unseal Epstein grand jury transcripts DW 07/23/2025
Briefly

A US judge has rejected a bid from Trump’s administration to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Jeffrey Epstein. The ruling indicated that the Justice Department's request did not meet the exceptions required for disclosure. The decision does not affect two other requests from the Justice Department for grand jury information regarding later investigations connected to Epstein in New York. This ruling comes amid growing pressure on Trump from his MAGA base, which has reacted negatively to the closure of the Epstein case and allegations of government concealment.
The US Justice Department's request to unseal grand jury transcripts related to Jeffrey Epstein was denied by Judge Robin Rosenberg, citing secrecy rules.
Trump's request for information stems from significant internal challenges faced due to the Epstein case, impacting his support from MAGA supporters.
MAGA supporters express frustration over the closed Epstein case and claims of government concealment, fueling conspiracy theories regarding Epstein's death and associated political figures.
Trump authorized Bondi to release credible information on the case in response to backlash from supporters who felt misled by the Justice Department's findings.
