NEW YORK (Reuters) -The U.S. government on Friday filed a motion to unseal grand jury transcripts related to the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
In a filing in Manhattan federal court, the Department of Justice said the criminal cases against Epstein and his former associate Ghislaine Maxwell are a matter of public interest, justifying the release of associated grand jury transcripts.
