There are four separate Grand Jury proceedings relevant to the Jeffrey Epstein case: two grand juries convened in the Southern District of Florida in 2005 and 2007, respectively, one convened with respect specifically to Epstein in the southern district of New York in 2019, and a grand jury convened specifically with respect to Maxwell in 2020. The two New York grand juries handed down indictments. The florida grand jury was prepared to consider a 60 count indictment against Epstein in May 2007, but ultimately Alex Acosta agreed to a sweetheart non-prosecution deal with Epstein under which the federal case was discontinued in return for Epstein's agreement to plead guilty to two lesser state-level prostitution charges, register as a sex offender, and accept a state prison sentence of 18 months (of which he served 13 months with work-release privileges).

In July of this year, Bondi filed motions to unseal all four grand jury transcripts, and was shot down in each instance. Its interesting that she is only asking for the florida grand jury transcripts to be unsealed. In all likelihood, those transcripts contain more information that the New York transcripts -- indeed, the judges rejecting the July requests for the New York transcripts indicated that those transcripts were very short and contained almost no material that had already been made public.
