Maxwell’s team says the transcription press release would harm the Supreme Court call

Ghislaine Maxwell’s defense team told court on Tuesday that he is opposed to a judge who publishes transcriptions from the Grand Jury in his sex trafficking case after the Trump Ministry of Justice has moved to dispens them.

Maxwell’s lawyers wrote in court documents that the non-heal would endanger his appeal to the Supreme Court and that their client could not take an “informed position” because the court refused to let his defense team see transcriptions in advance.

“Jeffrey Epstein is dead. Ghislaine Maxwell is not,” wrote his lawyer. “Whatever the interest that the public can have in Epstein, this interest cannot justify a broad intrusion in the secrecy of the Grand Jury in a case where the defendant is alive, his legal options are viable and his regular procedural rights remain.”

Maxwell’s move, although expected, adds to the obstacles that the DoJ must overcome to release the transcriptions of the Grand Jury of the cases of Epstein and Maxwell. The department had asked for the equipment after President Donald Trump called the Attorney General Pam Bondi to make more to appease the public outcry on the Doj’s initial decision last month to retain new information on the case of Epstein.

Trump, who was among the many high -level characters in the Epstein social circle, had previously pushed the growing calls from the supporters of Maga to reveal more information on the case of Epstein after the deceased financial was accused in 2019 of engaging in sexual trafficking and sexual abuse of minor women.

But a public concentration renewed on Trump’s relationship with Epstein has encouraged the president to move his position and to say that if certain files have been manufactured by the Democrats, the Doj should release what he could.

The leaders of the MJ, for their part, resumed their promises to reveal new details on the case of Epstein and rather declared in July in a memo that they had nothing more to disclose. They said the FBI had deepened Epstein files and had found no information that would allow them to bring charges against third parties and that most of the information was under seals ordered by the court or contained confidential information on the victims.

The memo sparked a fierce reaction, which led to the series of recent doj movements surrounding Epstein and its former girlfriend and associated Maxwell. In addition to asking the tribunal to unscrew the transcriptions of the great jury, which the MJ revealed Monday evening contained no new information, the deputy prosecutor Todd Blanche also met Maxwell and questioned him for two days.

The DoJ now plans to publish the audio file of the Blanche interview with Maxwell, which took place in Florida. Maxwell had served a 20 -year sentence in Tallahassee before being suddenly transferred to a minimum security establishment in Texas which was described as having a comfortable environment compared to other prisons.

Adding to the growing pressure on the Trump administration and the Doj was a summons published by the chairman of the Chamber’s supervisory committee, James Comer, R-Ky., Tuesday at Doj in search of the complete Epstein file by August 19.
