4. What Specific Information Is Being Sought for Disclosure
The fourth factor asks what specific information the movant seeks to disclose. See In re
Craig, 131 F.3d at 106. Here, the Government seeks the public disclosure of the grand jury
transcripts in the Epstein and Maxwell cases (Epstein Dkt. 61 at 1; Maxwell Dkt. 785 at 1). As
stated in the pending motions, any public disclosure granted by the Court would be “subject to
appropriate redactions of victim-related and other personal identifying information” (Epstein

5. How Long Ago the Grand Jury Proceedings Took Place
The fifth factor asks how long ago the grand jury proceedings took place. In re Craig, 131
F.3d at 106. The grand jury met in June and July of 2019 in the Epstein case. The grand jury met
in June and July of 2020 and March of 2021 in the Maxwell case. Here, the passage of time has
not dulled the public’s interest in these cases. See In re Craig, 131 F.3d at 107 (“if historical interest
in a specific case has persisted over a number of years, that serves as an important indication that
the public’s interest in release of the information is substantial”).
