Third Judge Orders Epstein Records Unsealed Under New Transparency Law

A third federal judge has ordered the release of sealed records tied to Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal prosecution, expanding a growing wave of transparency measures following the passage of the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Judge Richard M. Berman in Manhattan approved the request Wednesday, one day after another New York judge ordered the unsealing of documents in the Ghislaine Maxwell case and a week after a Florida judge took similar action.

The newly unsealed material is expected to shed light on how federal prosecutors investigated Epstein’s alleged sex-trafficking network, though it remains unclear how much new information will emerge.

The documents will be released with redactions to protect victims.

Epstein was indicted in 2019 and died by suicide in federal custody one month later, according to authorities.

Prosecutors say only a small number of grand jury witnesses testified in the Epstein and Maxwell cases, and much of Maxwell’s material surfaced during her trial.
