# A US federal judge has denied the Justice Department’s bid to unseal grand jury testimony from the criminal case of Ghislaine Maxwell. The department had sought to release grand jury testimony and exhibits from cases involving late financier and convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell, a longtime associate of Epstein, is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking and other offences in connection with Epstein. Judge Paul Engelmayer stated that the Maxwell grand jury testimony is not a matter of significant historical or public interest.
