Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for helping him recruit, groom and abuse underage girls.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>This latest filing again urged the New York court to release the records, and tried to convince the judges overseeing the case that the release of more information would not harm Epstein and Maxwell&#8217;s victims.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;There is undoubtedly a clearly expressed interest from the public in Jeffrey Epstein&#8217;s and Ghislaine Maxwell&#8217;s crimes. Beyond that, there is abundant public interest in the investigative work conducted by the Department of Justice and the Federal Bureau of Investigation into those crimes,&#8221; Justice Department leadership wrote in its argument that the transcripts should be released, adding that its goal in unsealing the material would &#8220;provide information to the public while remaining sensitive to protecting the rights of victims.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The Justice Department also said in the filing that they have submitted a fuller list under seal of witnesses whose accounts were conveyed in the grand jury proceedings and another list of which witnesses testified at trial to the judges, and have informed notice to all but one victim who is referenced in the grand jury transcripts of their attempts to unseal them.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The Government has attempted to contact the remaining victim, but such efforts have been unsuccessful.\u00a0 In addition, the Government is in the process of providing notice to any other individuals identified in the transcripts,&#8221; the Justice Department wrote.<\/p>\n<p>Last week, a federal judge in Florida <span class=\"link\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/news\/jeffrey-epstein-grand-jury-florida-federal-judge\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">denied<\/a><\/span> the Justice Department&#8217;s request to unseal grand jury material stemming from investigations in 2005 and 2007 into Epstein in the state. That ruling only applied to transcripts of proceedings by federal grand juries that were convened in Florida, and did not apply to the transcripts in New York.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The New York federal court is bound by different circuit court precedent, meaning judges there could ultimately pave the way for that information to be released.<\/p>\n<p>    <!-- data-recirc-source=\"chartbeat\" --><\/p>\n<aside class=\"component list recirculation component--type-recirculation component--type-recirculation-collection\">\n<div class=\"component__heading-wrapper\">\n<h3 class=\"component__title\">Jeffrey Epstein Case<br \/>\n                          <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/feature\/jeffrey-epstein\/?intcid=CNI-00-10aaa3a\" class=\"component__view-more component__view-more--lg\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\"><br \/>\n                More<br \/>\n                <svg viewbox=\"0 0 32 32\" class=\"icon__caret-right\" aria-hidden=\"true\">\n                  <use xlink:href=\"#icon-caret-down\"\/>\n                <\/svg><br \/>\n              <\/a><br \/>\n                      <\/h3>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/aside>\n<p>    <!-- tags --><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author\">\n      <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbsnews.com\/team\/jacob-rosen\/\" class=\"content-author__name\" data-invalid-url-rewritten-http=\"\">Jacob  Rosen<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"content-author__bio\">\n<div class=\"content-author__full-information\">\n<p class=\"content-author__text\">Jake Rosen is a reporter covering the Department of Justice.
