• The memorandum states that the Epstein grand jury heard testimony exclusively from an FBI agent during its June–July 2019 sessions.
• It adds that Maxwell’s grand jury in 2020 and 2021 featured testimony from the same FBI agent and a New York Police Department detective assigned to an FBI task force.
• The department argues that most transcript material mirrors evidence already public from trials and civil litigation.
• DOJ officials say they have notified all but one of the victims referenced in the grand jury records.
