Judge Paul Engelmayer of the Southern District of New York told the DOJ he needs three things to unseal the grand jury testimonies regarding Jeffrey Epstein.
“The Court intends to resolve this motion expeditiously,” wrote Engelmayor. “However, the Court cannot rule on the motion without additional submissions.”
By July 29, the DOJ must address the following factors:
Bondi addressed a few of these factors in her motion: July 2, 2019, and June 29, 2020.
I wonder how the DOJ will address the first date since it indicted Epstein, who is dead.
The June 29 indictment concerns Epstein’s partner Ghislaine Maxwell, whom the DOJ wants to meet.
Engelmayor stressed the DOJ must take great care to redact the public record to protect victims “and other personal identifying information concerns.”
The DOJ also needs to submit an index of the grand jury transcript materials, a complete set of transcripts, a complete proposed redacted set of transcripts, and a description of the transcripts.
By August 5, the DOJ needs to submit a letter from Maxwell “setting out her position vis-à-vis the proposed disclosure.”
The DOJ also needs to notify the victims and submit letters from them.
