The family of Virginia Giuffre, a prominent accuser in the Jeffrey Epstein sex trafficking scandal, has issued a forceful statement demanding clarity from former President Donald Trump regarding his recent remarks about her association with Epstein.
This poignant call for answers follows Trump’s assertion that Epstein ‘stole’ Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago spa, a comment that has deeply unsettled her surviving siblings and intensified scrutiny on the long-standing controversy surrounding Epstein’s network.
The family expressed profound shock at Trump’s invocation of Virginia Giuffre, questioning his apparent awareness of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s illicit activities, especially in light of his past comments on Epstein’s preferences for ‘younger’ women.
Virginia Giuffre had consistently maintained that Ghislaine Maxwell, Epstein’s accomplice, was instrumental in recruiting her from Mar-a-Lago, leading to years of sexual abuse and complicity in a vast sex trafficking operation. The family underscores Maxwell’s vicious role, advocating for her permanent incarceration.
Trump’s recent remarks on Air Force One mark a significant moment, as they seemingly corroborate elements of Giuffre’s long-held narrative concerning her presence at Mar-a-Lago and the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s eventual ban from the property. This adds a new layer to the complex relationship between Donald Trump, Jeffrey Epstein, and Ghislaine Maxwell.
The Giuffre family’s powerful statement also reiterates their belief that Maxwell is a ‘monster’ who deserves to ‘rot in prison,’ vehemently opposing any form of clemency or early release, emphasizing that anything less would be a monumental ‘travesty of justice’ for all victims of sex trafficking.
Adding to the ongoing developments, Trump’s former criminal defense lawyer, now Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, recently interviewed Ghislaine Maxwell. This meeting fuels speculation among Trump critics and Congressional Democrats that the administration seeks to manage the fallout from the protracted Jeffrey Epstein saga and a potential DOJ investigation.
Despite Trump’s claims that he has not considered pardoning Maxwell, his public statements suggesting he is ‘allowed’ to do so have only amplified the family’s concerns. They unequivocally state that Virginia Giuffre, if alive, would be most angered by the government’s willingness to engage with a ‘known perjurer’ who consistently lied under oath, further obstructing justice.
