A federal judge ripped into the Trump administration for “misleading” Epstein victims and the public after the DOJ sought to unseal Ghislaine Maxwell’s records while pretending it was a major act of transparency. Judge Paul Engelmayer accused the department of using the move as a distraction from the looming court-ordered release of its full Epstein files, blasting officials for paying “lip service” to victims while pushing a request that added nothing to public knowledge. The rebuke landed as Trump faced intensifying scrutiny over his past ties to Epstein and pushes for grand jury testimony critics say is meant to divert attention from far more revealing DOJ documents.
