While the Trump administration has requested the release of grand jury testimony made against Jeffrey Epstein, the financier’s former attorney, Alan Dershowitz, said the transcripts are not going to be as revealing as other information on the case.
Dershowitz also cautioned that some records may include the names of people who were falsely accused, which makes it “a complex matter.”
“Grand jury information is narrowly tailored by prosecutors only to provide sufficient evidence to result in an indictment,” Dershowitz said on “Fox News Sunday” this morning. “What’s much, much more important is discovery information, depositions and other things that came out of the Ghislaine Maxwell case — that came out of other cases that were pending in front of federal judges, and, for example, the case involving Prince Andrew. All of that should be revealed as well.”
Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022 for her role in a yearslong scheme with Epstein to groom and sexually abuse underage girls.
Potential Maxwell testimony: Dershowitz, who is not representing Maxwell, said he’s been told she could be willing to testify before Congress about her longtime confidante if given immunity to prevent her testimony from being used against her.
“She is the Rosetta Stone,” Dershowitz told Fox News. “She arranged every single trip with everybody. She knows everything.”
However, a source close to Maxwell told CNN shortly after Dershowitz made the comments that she has not had discussions about testifying before lawmakers.
“While Dershowitz is brilliant, he does not represent Ms. Maxwell and has had no contact with her,” the source close to Maxwell said. “There has been no discussion about her testifying before Congress. Her only counsel of record right now is fighting her case before the Supreme Court.”
