Epstein victim’s family says Ghislaine Maxwell got to ‘rewrite history’ in DOJ interviews: Live updates
The family of Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent accusers, has accused the Justice Department of giving Ghislaine Maxwell a “platform to rewrite history” through her interview.
Giuffre had accused influential men of sexually exploiting her as a teenager trafficked by Epstein, before she took her own life this year.
Speaking to Sky News, Giuffre’s family said they were outraged by the DOJ’s release of an interview with the convicted sex trafficker, in which she was grilled about various topics including Donald Trump’s and Prince Andrew’s links to Epstein.
“As the family of one of the most prominent survivors, Virginia Roberts Giuffre, we are outraged,” they said in a statement.
“The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction for child sex trafficking.”
It comes after President Donald Trump said he “couldn’t care less” that the Justice Department planned to hand over a trove of the so-called “Epstein files” to the House Oversight Committee.
The Republican-led committee issued a subpoena earlier this month demanding all documents related to the criminal cases against Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. The committee received a batch of files Friday, but Democrats have stated that 97 percent of those documents are already publicly available.
