Epstein died in jail awaiting trial. A Justice Department spokesperson declined to comment.

According to Berman’s ruling, no victims testified before the Epstein grand jury.

The only witness, the judge wrote, was an FBI agent “who had no direct knowledge of the facts of the case and whose testimony was mostly hearsay”.

The agent testified over two days, on June 18 and July 2, 2019.

The rest of the grand jury presentation consisted of a PowerPoint slideshow shown during the June 18 session and a call log shown during the July 2 session, which ended with grand jurors voting to indict Epstein.

Both of those will also remain sealed, Berman ruled.
