A federal judge granted the Justice Department's request to unseal grand jury documents from the 2019 Jeffrey Epstein investigation, citing the Epstein Files Transparency Act. The Act, which requires the DOJ to release all Epstein records by December 19th, prompted the judge, Richard M. Berman, to make the ruling. Representative Ro Khanna, a co-sponsor of the Act, stated that the order demonstrates American democracy is functioning, as previous judicial roadblocks to releasing the information have been overcome. The unsealing of these files is expected to provide greater transparency regarding the Epstein case.
