Judge Paul Engelmayer, recently embroiled in political controversy, now faces the sensitive task of deciding whether to unseal grand jury testimony related to Ghislaine Maxwell in connection with the Jeffrey Epstein scandal.

Republican calls for impeachment escalated after Engelmayer's previous ruling, halting a team led by Elon Musk from accessing critical Treasury Department records. The Epstein documents are awaited with intense public interest, and the U.S. Department of Justice argues for their release.
