Judge Paul A. Engelmayer called out President Donald Trump's administration for what he called a "disingenuous" effort to unseal the grand jury documents around Jeffrey Epstein.

Legal analysts were quick to point out the harshness of the judge's language.

"Judge UNLOADS on Trump DOJ Maxwell grand jury gambit," described Adam Klasfeld, who runs "All Rise News," a legal and political news publication.

He pointed out a key citation from the judge.

"The one colorable argument under that doctrine for unsealing in this case, in fact, is that doing so would expose as disingenuous the Government’s public explanations for moving to unseal." It's "aimed not at 'transparency' but at diversion."
