Justice Department renews bid to unseal Jeffrey Epstein grand jury materials

  • By MICHAEL R. SISAK and LARRY NEUMEISTER Associated Press

The Justice Department has renewed its request to unseal Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking grand jury materials after Congress approved the release of investigative materials related to the prosecution of the late financier. U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton signed a submission in Manhattan federal court on Monday asking that the materials be released now that President Donald Trump signed the action requiring release of documents related to Epstein within 30 days. The Justice Department said the Congressional action was written to indicate an intent to override any contrary provisions of existing law. A judge rejected a request earlier this year to release the grand jury materials publicly.
