Ghislaine Maxwell doesn't want grand jury transcripts released, say lawyers
Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell wants to keep grand jury records secret in the sex trafficking case that sent her to prison, her lawyers have said. It comes as prosecutors in the US urge a court to release some of those records in the criminal case-turned-political fireball. Maxwell has not seen the material herself, her lawyers said — the grand jury process is conducted behind closed doors. But she opposes unsealing what her lawyers described as potentially 'hearsay-laden' transcripts of grand jury evidence, which was given in secret and without her lawyers there to challenge it. 'Whatever interest the public may have in Epstein, that interest cannot justify a broad intrusion into grand jury secrecy in a case where the defendant is alive, her legal options are viable and her due process rights remain,' lawyers David O Markus and Melissa Madrigal wrote. A message seeking comment from prosecutors was not immediately returned. US government lawyers have been trying to quell a clamour for transparency by seeking the transcripts' release — although the government also says the public already knows much of what is in the documents. Most of the information 'was made publicly available at trial or has otherwise been publicly reported through the public statements of victims and witnesses,' prosecutors wrote in court papers on Monday. They noted that the disclosures excluded some victims' and witnesses' names. Prosecutors had also said last week that some of what the grand jurors heard eventually came out at Maxwell's 2021 trial and in various victims' legal cases. There were only two grand jury witnesses, both of them law enforcement officials, prosecutors said. Prosecutors made clear on Monday that they are seeking to unseal only the transcripts of grand jury witnesses' evidence, not the exhibits that accompanied it. But they are also working to parse how much of the exhibits also became public record over the years. While prosecutors have sought to temper expectations about any new revelations from the grand jury proceedings, they are not proposing to release a cache of other information the government collected while looking into Epstein. The filing aimed to support their request to release the usually secret records amid a public clamour for more transparency about the investigation into Epstein, six years after the financier died in prison. Maxwell, his former girlfriend, was later convicted of helping him prey on underage girls. The transcript face-off comes six years after authorities said Epstein killed himself while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges and four years after Maxwell was convicted. Some of US President Donald Trump's allies spent years suggesting there was more to the Epstein saga than met the eye and calling for more disclosures. A few got powerful positions in Mr Trump's Justice Department — and then faced backlash after it abruptly announced that nothing more would be released and that a long-rumoured Epstein 'client list' does not exist. After trying unsuccessfully to change the subject and denigrating his own supporters for staying interested in Epstein, the Republican president told Attorney General Pam Bondi to ask courts to unseal the grand jury transcripts in the case.

Violent crime in the US dropped 4.5% last year, FBI data shows
WASHINGTON (AP) — Violent crime in the United States fell 4.5% last year, according to a new FBI report, which also shows an 8% drop in property crime from the year before. The FBI statistics released Tuesday show murder and nonnegligent manslaughter in the U.S. in 2024 fell nearly 15% from a year earlier, continuing a decline that's been seen since a coronavirus pandemic-era crime spike. Reported hate crimes decreased 1.5%, according to the report. Despite that slight decrease, last year's hate crime totals were the second highest reported by the FBI in the more than 30 years it has been collecting data, according to Brian Levin, founder of the Center for the Study of Hate and Extremism and professor emeritus at California State University, San Bernardino. Crime surged during the coronavirus pandemic, with homicides increasing nearly 30% in 2020 over the previous year, the largest one-year jump since the FBI began keeping records. Violent crime across the U.S. dipped to near pre-pandemic levels around 2022. The FBI collects data through its Uniform Crime Reporting Program, and not all law enforcement agencies in the U.S. participate. The 2024 report is based on data from more than 16,000 agencies, or more than 86% of those agencies in the FBI's program. The agencies included in the report protect more than 325 million people across the U.S.

US violent crime fell 4.5% in 2024, down for second year running, FBI says
By Jana Winter WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Violent crime fell 4.5% in the United States last year, marking the second consecutive annual decline, while hate crimes decreased by 1.5%, the FBI said in its annual national crime report released on Tuesday. The report is based on data collected from 16,675 state and local law enforcement agencies, which together represent about 86% of the FBI's crime data reporting program. It showed a decline in overall crime across the country following a pandemic-era spike. There was a 14.9% drop in murder and non-negligent manslaughter - the lowest rate in nine years - and a 5.2% decline in incidents of rape. It said 64 law enforcement officers had been feloniously killed in the line of duty last year. Firearms were involved in 46 of those deaths, according to a summary of the Uniform Crime Reporting Program report, which noted that assaults on law enforcement reached a 10-year high in 2024, with 85,730 officers assaulted in the line of duty. Not all law enforcement agencies provide this data to the FBI, and metrics used for the provided data are not always the same across agencies and jurisdictions. The summary report also highlighted nationwide decreases in property crime offenses in 2024. It said property crime decreased 8.1%, with burglaries down 8.6%. There was an estimated 18.6% decline in motor vehicle theft. "Relevant data helps police fight violent crime by aiding in resource allocation and it helps families learn more about their communities," FBI Assistant Director Timothy Ferguson said on a call with reporters on Tuesday. In the next few weeks, FBI officials said, the bureau will start releasing monthly reports to better assist law enforcement agencies. 'As we move toward monthly data releases and more agencies submit diverse data on a more frequent basis we can produce an even more timely and accurate picture of crimes in the United States,' Ferguson said.
