India, July 24 -- Robin L Rosenberg, federal judge for the US District Court for the Southern District of Florida, on Wednesday denied the Department of Justice's request to unseal the transcripts of the grand jury in the Jeffrey Epstein probe.

An Obama appointee, Judge Rosenberg was giving her verdict on the DOJ's request last week that the transcripts of the grand jury be unsealed over the "extensive public interest" on the matter and for maintaining "transparency to the American public."

However, Judge Rosenberg denied the request, saying that the judiciary's "hands are tied" and the DOJ has failed to furnish sufficient justification for the release of the grand jury files, as per a memo released on Wednesday.
