A federal judge in Florida has rejected one of the Justice Department’s bids to make public secret grand jury transcripts from the investigation of disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.

U.S. District Judge Robin Rosenberg concluded she was required to dismiss the department’s request because of longstanding grand jury secrecy rules that include only a few narrow exceptions — none of which she said the Justice Department met in this case.

The Obama appointee’s ruling is a setback for Attorney General Pam Bondi’s effort to release Epstein-related grand jury materials — part of a broader effort to stave off the fury of Trump’s MAGA base, which has demanded public disclosures of evidence. Trump’s supporters have pushed for the administration to reveal Epstein’s purported “client list,” which they believe contains evidence of sex trafficking by high-profile associates. Earlier this month Trump’s DOJ and FBI said no such client list exists, and Bondi said she wouldn’t release additional materials.

Despite the rejection in Florida, the Justice Department has another opportunity.
