The family of Jeffrey Epstein survivor Virginia Giuffre is calling on President Trump not to consider clemency for the serial sex trafficker’s co-conspirator and confidant, Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre was the first survivor to come out publicly against Jeffrey Epstein. She died in Australia in April, reportedly by suicide. In a statement, Giuffre’s family members said they were alarmed by these comments by Donald Trump on Tuesday, when Trump said Epstein “stole” Giuffre away from his Mar-a-Lago club.

President Donald Trump: “I think she worked at the spa. I think so. I think that was one of the people, yeah. He — he stole her. And by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know. None whatsoever.”

In response, Giuffre’s siblings and their spouses wrote, “It was shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been 'stolen' from Mar-a-Lago. It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s criminal actions, especially given his statement two years later that his good friend Jeffrey 'likes women on the younger side … no doubt about it.' We and the public are asking for answers; survivors deserve this.”
