A federal judge in Florida ordered the release of previously sealed testimony, after legislation passed last month authorizing the disclosure.
A federal judge in Florida on Friday approved the release of grand jury documents from a nearly 20-year-old investigation of Jeffrey Epstein, beginning the process of making public another batch of long-sought material about the deceased financier.
The investigative material from the Florida case is among the older information that law enforcement held about Mr. Epstein, dating to an investigation that was first opened in 2005 into allegations that he was abusing teenage girls. The inquiry ended in 2008, when Mr. Epstein pleaded guilty to state charges of soliciting prostitution, in a deal widely seen as overly lenient.
The ruling on Friday came after Congress passed a law last month requiring the Justice Department to release all its files on the convicted sex offender by Dec. 19.
Let the fun and games begin. Trump knew better than buck the Republicans on Capitol Hill and the bill. Right he is to have to find a whole distraction to work on.
