These rulings reinforce the decision to keep these sensitive materials confidential, with the judge characterizing the attempts to disclose them as distractions. Despite several motions from the DOJ and other parties, the grand jury materials will remain sealed, highlighting ongoing complexities in the cases surrounding Epstein and Maxwell.
