Event Details

A page from a legal filing (Case 1:20-cr-00330-PAE) arguing against the unsealing of grand jury materials. The defense argues that because the grand jury convened only five years prior and Ghislaine Maxwell is still actively litigating her case (including a pending Supreme Court petition), releasing the materials would cause irrevocable reputational harm and taint the legal process. The filing explicitly notes that while Epstein is dead, Maxwell is alive, distinguishing this case from others where secrecy is no longer needed due to the death of principal parties.
