A US judge has denied a bid to unseal grand jury material from the investigation into disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein.
BBC News reported the decision from Judge Robin Rosenberg ruled the release of such documents would violate guidelines governing grand jury secrecy set by the federal appeals court that oversees Florida.
She further denied a request to transfer the issue into the jurisdiction of the Southern District of New York, where two judges are separately deciding to unseal grand jury records tied to Epstein and his longtime associate Ghislaine Maxwell.
Judge Rosenberg also ruled that a new case be opened so lawyers could make additional legal arguments for why the transcripts should be released.
US President Donald Trump continues to face pressure from some of his most loyal supporters, for more transparency in the case.
