A federal judge in New York has ordered the release of grand jury records tied to Ghislaine Maxwell, marking another major step in the widening disclosure of Justice Department documents related to Jeffrey Epstein.
Judge Paul Engelmayer approved the request on Tuesday, emphasizing that safeguards are in place to prevent the accidental release of information that could identify victims or violate their privacy.

Maxwell, convicted in 2021 on federal sex trafficking charges, is serving a 20-year sentence.
The ruling follows similar action in Florida, where another federal judge recently ordered the release of grand jury investigations into Epstein from 2005 and 2007.

Both moves stem from a new law passed by Congress requiring the Justice Department to release all records connected to Epstein.
A separate request to unseal additional Epstein-related grand jury materials in New York is still pending. Maxwell’s attorney said she does not oppose the release but argued it could prejudice any future retrial.
