BREAKING: The family of Virginia Giuffre, a prominent survivor of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuses, is expressing deep outrage over the Department of Justice’s (DOJ) recent decision to release the transcripts of Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche’s interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. This release, which occurred on Friday, has granted Maxwell a platform to “rewrite history,” according to Giuffre’s family.
Virginia Giuffre, who tragically died by suicide at the age of 41 in Australia earlier this year, had bravely spoken out against Epstein, Maxwell, and their high-profile associates, including Prince Andrew. Her family argues that the DOJ’s actions undermine the experiences of survivors and compromise the integrity of justice.
In a statement shared by a family spokesperson, they emphasized that “the content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction for child sex trafficking.” They criticized Blanche’s interview for failing to challenge Maxwell on her proven lies, allowing her to manipulate the narrative surrounding her crimes.
Maxwell, sentenced to 20 years in prison for sex trafficking minors in 2022, was recently moved to a minimum-security prison camp in Texas. This decision was perceived by Giuffre’s family as sending a “disturbing message” that those involved in child sex trafficking could evade significant consequences.
The newly released documents reveal troubling remarks from Maxwell, including her description of former President Donald Trump as “a gentleman in all respects.” This statement comes amidst ongoing scrutiny of Trump’s connections to Epstein and claims regarding a “vast network of underage victims” exploited by him.
Giuffre’s family condemned the DOJ’s decision, stating, “This travesty of justice entirely invalidates the experiences of the many brave survivors who put their safety, security, and lives on the line to ensure her conviction, including our sister.” They are calling for the DOJ to fulfill its duty to investigate and hold accountable the powerful figures who facilitated both Maxwell’s and Epstein’s crimes.
Maxwell’s attorneys have expressed interest in a potential presidential pardon, which Trump has stated he hasn’t considered despite being “allowed” to do so. The Giuffre family is urging the public to recognize the implications of the DOJ’s actions on survivors of sexual abuse.
As this story develops, the impact of the DOJ’s decision continues to resonate within the community of Epstein survivors and advocates for justice. The family’s urgent call to action highlights the need for accountability and transparency in high-profile cases of sexual abuse and trafficking.
