Summary
A New York federal court judge has rejected the motion filed by DOJ/Pam Bondi/Todd Blanche to release the grand jury transcripts in the Ghislaine Maxwell case.
According the ABC News, Judge Paul Engelmayer issued a lengthy opinion, criticizing the "Department of Justice for using 'demonstrably false' reasoning to justify the release of grand jury testimony." The judge also said releasing the transcripts would not reveal any new information of any consequence, and that it looked like an effort by the DOJ to give the illusion of transparency and full disclosure, adding that "There is no there, there."
