A New York judge has refused a request from the Trump administration to unseal the federal grand jury transcripts in the case of sex offender Ghislaine Maxwell, the former girlfriend of late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein.
The U.S. government had failed to cite any “special circumstance” that would warrant release of the transcripts and exhibits in Maxwell’s sex abuse case, wrote Judge Paul Engelmayer of the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York in an opinion Monday.
