| 1998-01-01 | Legal petition | A request by historical associations to unseal grand jury transcripts. | N/A | View |
This legal document, page 7 of a court filing, argues against the disclosure of Ghislaine Maxwell's grand jury materials. The author contends that the current 'immense public interest' in the Epstein and Maxwell cases is mere public curiosity about an ongoing case and does not meet the standard of historical importance that justified disclosure in past cases like the Hiss espionage case or the 'In re Biaggi' case. The document distinguishes the current request from precedents where materials were released decades later, after witnesses had died, or when the subject of the testimony themselves requested the release.
This legal document discusses precedents for unsealing grand jury testimony of historical significance. It cites the case of David Greenglass, whose testimony in the Rosenberg trial was released after his death, and the case of Alger Hiss, where grand jury transcripts from an espionage investigation were unsealed after fifty years due to public interest.
