JUST IN: Judge Unseals Epstein Grand Jury Documents [View all]

Dec 5th, 2025, 2:43 pm

A federal judge has ordered the release of grand jury transcripts from convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s trial.

Judge Rodney Smith’s decision came after Congress passed the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed by President Donald Trump in November.

In its motion, the government argued, “The United States seeks to unseal the grand jury materials in this case and publicly release them, as well as lift any preexisting protective orders that would prevent the Department of Justice from releasing the materials.” Smith granted the motion providing for the release of “unclassified records, documents, communications, and investigative materials that relate to Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.”

So far, both House Democrats and Republicans have released a trove of Epstein documents, including emails that mentioned Trump over a thousand times. One email included Epstein saying that he knew just “how dirty Donald is” and another said that Trump “knew about the girls.” Trump repeatedly waffled on releasing the files before giving in to bipartisan pressure. The president maintains he did nothing wrong.
