A federal judge in Florida on Wednesday denied a request from the Trump administration to release grand jury transcripts from an investigation into the disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein ...

"US district judge Robin Rosenberg found that the department's request in Florida did not fall into any of the exceptions to rules requiring grand jury material be kept secret.
"Rosenberg wrote that the court's "hands are tied" and said the government had not requested the grand jury's findings for use in a judicial proceeding, pointing out that district courts in the US are largely prohibited from unsealing grand jury testimony except in very narrow circumstances."
