The Department of Justice (DOJ) filed a motion to have grand jury testimonies relating to convicted sex criminal Jeffrey Epstein unsealed, according to multiple reports.
In a motion filed in the United States District Court – Southern District of New York, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche called for the court “to release grand jury transcripts associated with” the indictment referring to Epstein.
“At the direction of the Attorney General, the Department of Justice hereby moves the Court to release grand jury transcripts associated with the above referenced indictment,” the court document says.
In another motion filed in the U.S. District Court – Southern District of New York, Blanche also called for the court to release grand jury transcripts relating to an indictment regarding Epstein’s accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell.
The motions added:
On July 6, 2025, the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation issued a memorandum describing an exhaustive review undertaken of investigative holdings relating to Jeffrey Epstein (the “Memorandum”). The Memorandum detailed the steps taken by the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation to determine whether evidence existed that could predicate an investigation into uncharged third parties. As the Memorandum concluded, no such evidence was uncovered during the review.
Since July 6, 2025, there has been extensive public interest in the basis for the Memorandum’s conclusions. While the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation continue to adhere to the conclusions reached in the Memorandum, transparency to the American public is of the utmost importance to this Administration. Given the public interest in the investigative work conducted by the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation into Epstein, the Department of Justice moves the Court to unseal the underlying grand jury transcripts in United States v. Epstein, subject to appropriate redactions of victim-related and other personal identifying information. The Department will work with the United States Attorney’s Office for Southern District of New York to make appropriate redactions of victim-related information and other personal identifying information prior to releasing the transcripts. Transparency in this process will not be at the expense of our obligation under the law to protect victims.
As Breitbart News reported, the memo from the DOJ and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) revealed that there was no evidence Epstein had a client list and that an investigation had found Epstein committed suicide. The memo also found there was “no credible evidence” that Epstein had blackmailed prominent people.
