Summary
This document is a legal filing (page 8 of 10) addressing factors for maintaining grand jury secrecy. It confirms that the sole witness for the Epstein grand jury (an FBI agent) and the two witnesses for the Maxwell grand jury (the same FBI agent and an NYPD detective) are currently alive and employed. It argues for the redaction of transcripts to protect third parties and victims who were not charged in the crimes.

9. Whether There Is an Additional Need for Maintaining Secrecy in the
Particular Case in Question
Particular Case in Question
Finally, the ninth factor considers "the additional need for maintaining secrecy in the
particular case in question." In re Craig, 131 F.3d at 106. In addition to the typical reasons for
grand jury secrecy, the grand jury transcripts contain victim-related and other personal identifying
information related to third parties who neither have been charged or alleged to be involved in the
crimes with which Epstein and Maxwell were charged, to which the Government is sensitive, and
which is why the Government proposes redacting the transcripts before releasing them. (See
Epstein Dkt. 61 at 2; Maxwell Dkt. 785 at 2).
