Ex-Epstein Lawyer Urges Release Of More Case Files

A previous legal representative of Jeffrey Epstein is now pushing the U.S. Department of Justice to make more documents public from its investigation into the disgraced financier’s sex trafficking case. He also suggested the government should offer immunity to Epstein’s former partner so she can provide testimony.

During his appearance on Fox News Sunday, Alan Dershowitz stated that while he supports unsealing the grand jury transcripts requested by Attorney General Pam Bondi, they likely won’t contain the information many of President Donald Trump’s supporters are hoping to uncover—such as the names of individuals who may have been involved with Epstein.

“I think the judge should release it, but they are not in the grand jury transcripts,” Dershowitz said on Fox.
“I’ve seen some of these materials. For example, there is an FBI report of interviews with alleged victims in which at least one of the victims names very important people,” he said, adding that those names have been redacted.

There has been increasing demand among Trump’s base for deeper transparency regarding Epstein’s connections, particularly after his death in a Manhattan correctional facility in 2019, which was officially ruled a suicide while he was awaiting trial.

Earlier this year, Bondi committed to making more evidence available to the public, promising that it would include “a lot of names” and records such as flight logs. However, those expectations were tempered earlier this month when a joint memo from the DOJ and FBI downplayed the existence of any client list or blackmail materials, effectively dismissing widely circulated conspiracy theories.

That same memo reaffirmed the conclusion of a prior inquiry that determined Epstein’s cause of death was suicide, not homicide.

Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel have come under heavy criticism from Trump-aligned groups in the wake of the memo’s release. In response, Trump instructed the Justice Department to petition the courts for access to sealed grand jury records connected to both Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell.

On Friday, a legal motion was submitted to a federal court in Manhattan to request the release of those transcripts.

Maxwell, who was convicted in 2021 on multiple federal counts for her involvement in Epstein’s abuse of minors, is currently appealing her sentence, which includes two decades in prison, to the U.S. Supreme Court.

Despite the push for more transparency, legal experts have warned that even if the court unseals the transcripts, the material may not include the full extent of the evidence Trump’s supporters are hoping to see.

Dershowitz on Sunday told “Fox News Sunday” that the information that Bondi did not request to be unsealed would be “far more informative and far more relevant.”

He added that the government should also grant Maxwell immunity so that she could testify before Congress about what knowledge she has of Epstein’s alleged crimes.
“She knows everything. She is the Rosetta Stone,” he said of Maxwell.
“If she were just given use immunity, she could be compelled to testify.”
