A Florida judge has ordered the release of the transcripts from a 2006 grand jury investigation into sex trafficking and rape allegations made against the late millionaire and financier Jeffrey Epstein.
The judge’s release of the approximately 150 pages on Monday afternoon came as a surprise as the issue of when and how to release the documents was to be addressed at a hearing scheduled for next week. In February, Gov. Ron DeSantis signed a bill allowing the documents to be made public on July 1 or a later date as ordered by Circuit Judge Luis Delgado.
