The Dec. 5 order states that while the government's previous attempts to release the grand jury transcripts were denied, U.S. District Judge Rodney Smith was ordering their release in compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which was passed in November.
The law requires the attorney general to make publicly available “all unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials in the possession of the Department of Justice” related to Epstein, the disgraced financier and accused sex trafficker who died by suicide in 2019.
The Justice Department has until Dec. 19 − 30 days after President Donald Trump signed the bill − to release the information it has, which is expected to go beyond the files Smith has released.
