Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein, has formally opposed the U.S. Department of Justice's (DOJ) request to unseal grand jury transcripts related to the investigation of both herself and Epstein. Maxwell, who is serving a prison sentence for sexually exploiting and abusing teenage girls, asked a federal judge in New York to deny the government's motion to make these materials public. The DOJ's interest in releasing the grand jury transcripts comes amid ongoing discussions within the Trump administration about whether to disclose the transcript and audio recordings from a recent two-day DOJ interview with Maxwell. This interview was conducted by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche last month. The White House is reportedly weighing the decision to release these materials, with the DOJ considering the move following mounting public pressure. Maxwell's opposition to the unsealing reflects her continued legal resistance to the disclosure of evidence from the investigation into Epstein and herself.
