Engelmayer.Permitting such an exception \u201ccasually or promiscuously\u201d would erode confidence in people called to testify before future grand juries, Judge Engelmayer wrote.\u201cThis factor weighs heavily against unsealing,\u201d the judge wrote in his order on Monday.The ruling comes as President Trump tries to subdue criticism and conspiracy theories from his supporters about Mr. Epstein and his circle by pushing for the transcripts\u2019 disclosure. Mr. Epstein\u2019s death six years ago in a cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center spurred improbable theories, including that he was killed by Democrats and that he was blackmailing rich and famous people. His death was ruled a suicide.Top aides to Mr. Trump pushed some of those theories before they entered government, and the administration\u2019s failure to disclose any revelations about Mr. Epstein, a financier who moved in exclusive circles, has threatened to drive a wedge between Mr. Trump and some of his fervent supporters.The judge\u2019s refusal on Monday to unseal the transcripts is the latest setback in the president\u2019s effort to defuse the controversy.Ms. Maxwell was arrested a year after Mr. Epstein\u2019s death and in December 2021 was found guilty of sex trafficking and other charges. Her conviction was affirmed on appeal. She has asked the Supreme Court to review her case.Ms. Maxwell\u2019s lawyers have argued that she had been scapegoated by federal prosecutors who had no one else to prosecute after Mr. Epstein died. The lawyers had resisted the government\u2019s request to release the transcripts, writing that while Mr. Epstein is dead, \u201cGhislaine Maxwell is not.\u201d\u201cWhatever interest the public may have in Epstein, that interest cannot justify a broad intrusion into grand jury secrecy in a case where the defendant is alive, her legal options are viable and her due process rights remain,\u201d they said.Monday\u2019s order came weeks after a federal judge in Florida denied a request by the government to release grand jury transcripts from an investigation in that state into Mr. Epstein.In the push to unseal the transcripts in both New York and Florida, government officials argued that there was significant public interest in the case.The government argued that the release would be warranted because attention to the cases had \u201crecently intensified\u201d after the Justice Department announced last month that it had concluded its review of the investigation. The Justice Department said the release of the materials would bolster the government\u2019s claims that it had left no stone unturned.For months, the attorney general, Pam Bondi, had promised the release of material that could show damaging details of the investigation. But, in February, when Ms. Bondi released documents connected to the case, she failed to appease Mr. Trump\u2019s supporters and conservative media figures. The documents primarily had information that had already been in the public domain and did not reveal wrongdoing by people other than Mr. Epstein.Last month, the Justice Department said that it had closed the case, prompting an instant outcry.In a memo, the F.B.I. and the Justice Department said its review of files regarding Mr. Epstein had \u201crevealed no incriminating \u2018client list\u2019\u201d or credible evidence that \u201cEpstein blackmailed prominent individuals as part of his actions.\u201d It indicated that there would be no more disclosures about Mr. Epstein.The announcement merely fueled the backlash. In recent weeks, Todd Blanche, Ms. Bondi\u2019s deputy, held two days of interviews with Ms. Maxwell in Florida, in an effort to quell criticism that the government was hiding information about Mr. Epstein.Last week, the Republican-led House Oversight Committee issued a subpoena to the Justice Department for its files related to the Epstein case.In his order Monday, Judge Engelmayer noted the public interest argument, saying that he had given it \u201ccareful consideration.\u201d However, he wrote, because the government has \u201cconceded that the information it proposes to release is redundant of the public record,\u201d there is no need to unseal the grand jury materials.The push to unseal the records might be seen as an effort not \u201caimed not at \u2018transparency\u2019 but at diversion \u2014 aimed not at full disclosure but at the illusion of such,\u201d he wrote.\u201cContrary to the government\u2019s depiction, the Maxwell grand jury testimony is not a matter of significant historical or public interest,\u201d Judge Engelmayer wrote. \u201cFar from it. It consists of garden-variety summary testimony by two law enforcement agents.\u201dBenjamin Weiser contributed reporting.Hurubie Meko is a Times reporter covering criminal justice in New York, with a focus on the Manhattan district attorney's office and state courts.See more on: Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein, Donald TrumpShare full articleRelated ContentAdvertisementSKIP ADVERTISEMENT",
