Alan Dershowitz urges DOJ to release more Epstein records and grant Ghislaine Maxwell immunity.

Alan Dershowitz, a former attorney for Jeffrey Epstein, has called on the US Justice Department to release additional records from its investigation into Epstein's sex-trafficking case and suggested granting Ghislaine Maxwell immunity so she could testify about Epstein's activities. Dershowitz hopes that this will shed more light on Epstein's dealings.

In a significant development, the Trump administration has requested a Manhattan federal judge to unseal grand jury transcripts in the cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. This move comes amidst intense public pressure and scrutiny over the handling of the Epstein case [1].

The Justice Department, led by Attorney General Pam Bondi, filed a motion on Friday, July 19, 2025, asking the court to release the grand jury testimony related to the Epstein and Maxwell cases. The motion cited "intense public interest" in the cases and emphasized the need for transparency [3].

The request is a reversal from a previous memo issued by the Justice Department on July 6, which stated that no further disclosures were warranted. The memo had been met with skepticism from Republicans in Congress and pro-Trump activists who demanded more information [3].

The Trump administration's move follows a series of public statements from Trump himself, who has called for the release of the grand jury testimony. Trump has maintained that he had no involvement in the Epstein allegations and has criticized those who continue to press for the release of materials related to the case [1].

The request for unsealing the grand jury transcripts is part of a broader effort by the administration to address public concerns about the Epstein case. The administration has also faced criticism for its handling of the case, with some accusing it of mishandling the investigation and failing to hold those involved accountable [1].

The release of the grand jury transcripts, if approved by the court, would provide new insights into the Epstein and Maxwell cases. However, the transcripts would be subject to appropriate redactions to protect victim-related and other personal identifying information [3].

The request for unsealing the grand jury transcripts is a significant development in the ongoing debate over the Epstein case. It remains to be seen how the court will respond to the request and what impact the release of the transcripts will have on the ongoing investigations and public perception of the case.
