NEW YORK (AP) — Ex-federal prosecutors say a Justice Department request to unseal grand jury transcripts in the prosecution of chronic sexual abuser Jeffrey Epstein and his former girlfriend is unlikely to produce much, if anything, to satisfy the public’s appetite for new revelations about the financier’s crimes. Attorney Sarah Krissoff, who was an assistant U.S. attorney in Manhattan from from 2008 to 2021, calls a Justice Department request to unseal grand jury transcripts in the prosecutions of Epstein and imprisoned British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell a distraction. The request came as some supporters of President Donald Trump blasted his administration for reneging on a vow to make public key evidence.
