Headline: UNCAPTIONED: Judge Keeps Ghislaine Maxwell Grand Jury Files Sealed
Caption: Judge Keeps Ghislaine Maxwell Grand Jury Files Sealed. A US judge has ruled that grand jury materials in Ghislaine Maxwell’s sex-trafficking case will remain sealed saying their release “would not reveal new information of any consequence”. The Justice Department had urged unsealing to calm anger among President Donald Trump’s supporters over the decision not to release all federal files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell, now serving a 20-year sentence, opposed the move. Judge Paul Engelmayer stressed the importance of grand jury secrecy warning that breaking it without special circumstances could undermine the system and discourage witnesses from speaking. He rejected the argument that the information was already public from Maxwell’s trial, saying the public would learn “next to nothing new”. Maxwell, 63, was recently moved from a Florida prison to a minimum-security facility in Texas. One of her accusers says she should remain behind bars for life.
