Federal court maintains secrecy of proceedings in high-profile case
1.
A federal judge in New York has denied the Justice Department's request to unseal grand jury transcripts related to the case against Jeffrey Epstein. Judge Richard Berman issued the ruling on Wednesday, maintaining the confidentiality of the grand jury proceedings that led to Epstein's indictment on sex trafficking charges. This decision follows a similar ruling in the case against Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence.
