for Details from DOJ by Aug 4
By Matthew
Russell Lee, Patreon Maxwell
Book
SDNY COURTHOUSE,
July 31 – With Ghislaine
Maxwell in prison, she has
offered to testify to Congress
about Jeffrey Epstein - with
significant conditions.
Meanwhile just
before midnight July 29 DOJ in
a filing in SDNY said it
submitted Epstein and Maxwell
grand jury information under
seal, filing on Patreon here.
Victims' filings
are due on August 5.
On July 31 Judge
Engelmayer asked for DOJ info
by August 4 including
Identifying with specificity
the grand jury exhibits, as
redacted for proposed release,
that are not already part of
the public record. In making
this assessment, the
Government should take into
account whether the unredacted
portions of these exhibits
were received in evidence
during trial in this case,
otherwise disclosed on the
docket of this case, or
disclosed in the course of
civil litigation, see, e.g.,
Giuffre v. Maxwell" - order on
Patreon here
Inner City Press is on the
case, noting on July 14 DOJ's
opposition to Maxwell's appeal
-
"that Epstein’s
nonprosecution agreement with
the U.S. Attorney for the
Southern District of Florida
barred petitioner’s
prosecution by the U.S.
Attorney for the Southern
District of New York. That
contention is incorrect" -
after having
asked Maxwell herself question
when she did a press
conference in the UN. After
that, Inner City Press was
banned from the UN by SG
Antonio Guterres. His
spokesman Stephane Dujarric on
July 14, 2025 refused to
answer written questions,
including:
On deadline,
explain why Ghislaine Maxwell
was granted a press conference
in the UN briefing room, and
why a UN correspondent who did
a fundraiser with Ghislaine
Maxwell - convicted of sex
trafficking here in SDNY, and
known at the time to be
manager for Jeffrey Epstein -
is allowed in daily and can
ask questions, while Inner
City Press which asked and
asks remains banned, with
6/19/25 application to MALU
pending, none of the promised
(by Dujarric) answers to
written questions like this
provided
No answers.
On April 19, 2022 U.S.
District Court for the
Southern District of New York
Judge Loretta A. Preska held a
proceeding to unseal some but
not all documents. Inner
City Press, which has
published a book on the
Maxwell trial here,
and another book including the
Larry Ray trial "John
list" here, live tweeted
it, thread here:
173-6 it
will be sealed [or redacted.]
Jump cut to April
25, 2025, with Virginia
Giuffre declared dead,
reportedly by suicide. A
redacted life. Rest in Peace.
Inner City Press
continues reporting on the UN
(where Ghislaine Maxwell was
allowed a press conference and
SG Antonio
Guterres had a rep on
her Terramar board
(video here,
story here).
