ORLANDO, Fla. (AP) — A federal judge has given the Justice Department permission to release transcripts of a grand jury investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse of underage girls in Florida. The case ultimately ended without any federal charges being filed against the millionaire sex offender. U.S. District Judge Rodney Smith said Friday that a recently passed federal law ordering the release of records related to the cases overrode the usual rules about grand jury secrecy. The new law compels the Justice Department, FBI and federal prosecutors to release later this month the materials they’ve amassed during investigations into Epstein. When the documents will be released is unknown.
