(The Hill) – The Justice Department (DOJ) in a Tuesday court filing said just two witness testified for the grand jury during the trials of convicted sex offenders Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. 

DOJ court filings revealed that an FBI agent and a New York Police Department detective testified in front of a grand jury, according to The Associated Press. Victims did not take the stand. 

The filing comes as Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche have pushed to unseal the transcripts from the testimony amid public demand for more information about the case.

In recent weeks, political opponents of President Trump and even some of his backers have ridiculed the administration for failing to release Epstein’s “client list.”

A joint memo from the FBI and DOJ earlier this month stated that the deceased financier kept no such documentation. At the the time, law enforcement officials said no additional files related to him would be released. 

The announcement came after the DOJ told Trump in May that he was named in documents tied to Epstein’s criminal sex trafficking ring of underage girls, as The Wall Street Journal reported.

But, amid recent backlash, the DOJ urged judges to help release more information on Epstein’s dealings. Two judges who would have to approve the release of the requested transcripts, according to the AP. 

A district judge in Florida declined the administration’s request to unseal documents from 2005 and 2007 grand jury investigations last week.

The DOJ, on Thursday and Friday, also interviewed Maxwell — who is serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in the trafficking — for more than nine hours about the case. Blanche said additional information from her statements would be released when deemed appropriate.
