The US Department of Justice can release grand jury materials from Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal case after a second federal judge paved the way for the disclosure of more information about the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

US District Judge Paul Engelmayer, who had previously denied a request by the government to allow the release of transcripts and other evidence, granted it permission in an opinion on Tuesday in response to the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which President Donald Trump signed last month.
