Virginia Giuffre’s relatives have expressed their discontent with Donald Trump following his revelations about his association with Jeffrey Epstein.
Trump’s past friendship with Epstein is well-documented, but recent discussions have intensified scrutiny over the true nature of their bond.
In a recent development, the FBI and Department of Justice surprised many by stating they found no evidence of a ‘client list’ used by Epstein to extort influential individuals.
In a fresh interview, Trump provided an explanation about the reasons behind the end of his and Epstein’s relationship.
Giuffre’s family, upon hearing Trump’s statements, have criticized the former president.
While speaking with reporters aboard Air Force One, Trump explained: “He took people that work for me, and I told him, don’t do it any more. And he did it. I said, stay the hell out of here.”
Trump further revealed that Giuffre, as a teenager, could have been among those targeted by Epstein.
He continued: “I told him, I said, listen, we don’t want you taking our people, whether it was spa or not spa. I don’t want him taking people. And he was fine. And then, not too long after that, he did it again. And I said, out of here.”
When asked if Giuffre was one of those individuals, Trump responded: “I don’t know. I think she worked at the spa. I think so. I think that was one of the people, yeah, he stole her.
“And by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever.”
A report from Mail Online indicates that Giuffre’s family was taken aback by Trump’s comments involving Giuffre and his awareness of her being ‘stolen’ from Mar-a-Lago, Trump’s Florida estate.
The family issued a statement: “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 demand this.”
The family also expressed concerns regarding Ghislaine Maxwell potentially providing information about Epstein’s illicit activities.
The statement continued: “If our sister could speak today, she would be most angered by the fact that the government is listening to a known perjurer. A woman who repeatedly lied under oath and will continue to do so as long as it benefits her position.”
