Family of Virginia Giuffre Reacts to House Vote on Epstein Files and Presidential Statements

Reaction to Presidential Stance on Epstein Files

• 🗣️ Sky and Amanda Roberts express disappointment with the President's past statements calling the Epstein case a "hoax," finding them hurtful to survivors.
• 💡 They note a shift in the President's narrative, suggesting he now supports the release of files but questioning the sincerity given his previous opposition.
• ❓ The Roberts challenge the President to release the files immediately if he truly supports their disclosure, rather than waiting for a House vote.

Advocacy for Survivors

• ✊ The Roberts plan to visit Capitol Hill with other survivors to send a message that this moment is about acknowledging and believing survivors of abuse.
• ✨ They aim to remind elected officials of their duty to represent their constituents and to effect change for survivors of sexual abuse and trafficking.
• 💔 It's a bittersweet moment for the family, as they wish Virginia Roberts Giuffre could be alive to see this progress, which she worked towards for decades.

Scrutiny of Released Emails and Trump's Involvement

• 📧 Emails released by House Oversight Democrats mention President Trump in relation to Epstein, with one claiming he "spent hours with a victim" at Epstein's house, identified as Virginia Roberts.
• ⚖️ While Virginia Giuffre did not implicate Trump in wrongdoing, the Roberts believe anyone named in the files should be thoroughly investigated.
• ⚠️ They caution against confusion, noting that many documents are coming from the Epstein estate, not the DOJ.

Concerns Over Unredacted Names and Ghislaine Maxwell

• 🚩 The Roberts feel it was careless and a "slap in the face" to release Virginia's name unredacted, especially as she cannot speak for herself.
• 🚫 They believe survivors should not be used as political tools and that all names in the files should be redacted for survivor protection.
• 🤢 The possibility of Ghislaine Maxwell receiving special treatment in prison and potentially seeking a commutation is described as "icky" and a "slap in the face" to survivors.
• ❓ They question whether the President would pardon Maxwell and urge him to answer this directly.
