Jeffrey Epstein accuser Giuffre's kin encourages Trump to maintain Maxwell's imprisonment
In a recent development, the family of Virginia Giuffre, a woman who has accused Jeffrey Epstein of sex trafficking, has expressed shock over Donald Trump's comment about Epstein poaching Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago, Florida. This statement has raised questions about Trump's awareness of Epstein's sexual abuse at the time.
During Ghislaine Maxwell's trial in 2021, Juan Alessi, the former manager of Epstein's Palm Beach home, testified that he drove with Maxwell to meet Giuffre at nearby Mar-a-Lago. However, Giuffre's family stated that Maxwell recruited her from Mar-a-Lago in 2000, years before Trump and Epstein had their falling out.
It is important to note that there is no public evidence that Donald Trump was aware of Jeffrey Epstein's sexual abuse occurring at Mar-a-Lago before 2002, including any involvement with the recruitment of Virginia Giuffre. The timeline of their relationship indicates that Trump and Epstein knew each other and socialized at Mar-a-Lago in the 1990s and early 2000s. However, no verified information connects Trump to Epstein’s criminal abuse activities or awareness of them during that period.
Virginia Giuffre has claimed that she was a victim of Epstein's sex trafficking from 2000 to 2002, starting when she was 16. However, she did not publicly name Trump as being involved or aware of her recruitment at Mar-a-Lago before 2002, and no credible sources have presented evidence to that effect.
Trump has not been accused of wrongdoing in relation to the Epstein case. In response to a reporter's question about Giuffre, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt stated that Trump was not bringing up Giuffre, but was responding to the question.
Trump has claimed that he told Epstein to "stay the hell out" of Mar-a-Lago after finding out Epstein was poaching his workers, including Giuffre. However, a 2002 New York magazine article quoted Trump calling Epstein a "terrific guy" who liked women "on the younger side."
The family of Giuffre is urging President Trump not to grant clemency to Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for helping Epstein abuse underage girls. Maxwell's lawyer, David Markus, has called on Trump to grant her relief, but Trump has said he has not thought about whether to pardon her.
This development comes as Trump faces pressure to make public documents from the federal investigations into Epstein and Maxwell. The family's statement adds to the ongoing scrutiny of Trump's relationship with Epstein and Maxwell.
