The DOJ Asks The Court To Unseal Epstein/Maxwell Grand Jury Exhibits As Well As Testimony (8/11/25)

Beyond The Horizon

The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) has formally asked federal judges to unseal the grand jury exhibits—not just the testimony transcripts—from the investigations into Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The request, filed on August 8, 2025, specifies that any released materials should redact victim identities and sensitive personal information, while notifying individuals named in exhibits not previously admitted during Maxwell’s trial. The DOJ has also requested that these materials remain sealed until after August 14 to allow time for notifications to relevant third parties.
The move follows mounting pressure from the public, victims, and lawmakers for greater transparency in the Epstein‑Maxwell cases. Victims and their attorneys remain divided: some support unsealing for accountability, while others worry about their safety, privacy, and potential political motivations behind the DOJ’s timing. Maxwell’s legal team strongly opposes the unsealing, arguing that, unlike Epstein (who is deceased), Maxwell is alive and actively litigating her case. They warn that unsealing grand jury materials could intrude on her due process rights and jeopardize her ongoing appeals and any future retrial.
