Summary
The U.S. Attorney's Office is requesting the court to unseal civil discovery materials related to the Jane Doe 43 v. Epstein case, as they are relevant to an ongoing grand jury investigation into Jeffrey Epstein for sex trafficking and related crimes. The government argues that the protective order in the civil case should be modified to allow Boies Schiller & Flexner LLP to comply with a grand jury subpoena.
