A federal judge has approved the release of grand jury records from Jeffrey Epstein’s 2019 case, marking a major step toward public transparency in the long-controversial investigation.

This landmark ruling follows the implementation of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, a federal law mandating that unclassified records connected to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell be released to the public. Traditionally, grand jury materials are kept sealed under strict confidentiality rules, but the new legislation overrides those protections in Epstein-related cases.

The unsealed collection is expected to include nearly 70 pages of transcripts, a PowerPoint presentation used during the grand jury briefing, and evidentiary documents submitted as part of the 2019 sex-trafficking investigation. Although officials do not anticipate shocking new revelations, the release is seen as a critical victory for transparency advocates who have long argued that the public deserves clarity on how the case was handled.

The Justice Department has confirmed that sensitive personal details of victims and minors will be redacted before publication. Similar rulings in New York and Florida courts show a growing judicial trend toward openness in the Epstein investigation, which has sparked global interest, controversy, and demands for accountab
