The family of the late Virginia Giuffre, a well-known Jeffrey Epstein accuser, criticized the recent release of prison interview transcripts between Deputy Attorney Todd Blanche and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.
The family accused the DOJ of giving Maxwell an opportunity to “rewrite history.”
“The content of these transcripts directly contradicts the felon Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction for child sex trafficking,” Giuffre’s family stated, according to NBC News. “This miscarriage of justice utterly invalidates the experiences of the many courageous survivors who risked their safety, security, and lives to ensure her conviction, including our sister.”
“During [Deputy Attorney General] Todd Blanche’s peculiar interview, she is never challenged about her court-verified lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history,” Giuffre’s family remarked regarding the DOJ’s interview with Maxwell, with the transcripts released on Friday.
After the interview with Blanche, Maxwell was moved from a maximum security prison in Tallahasse, Florida, to a minimum security facility in Texas.
“By transferring convicted felon Maxwell to a minimum-security, country club prison, the DOJ sends a troubling message that child sex trafficking is acceptable and will be rewarded,” the family statement said.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking. Last month, Blanche interviewed her over a two-day period regarding Epstein.
In the interview, Maxwell denied trafficking anyone or witnessing any non-consensual sexual activity or sex involving minors, though she admitted that Epstein might have been involved in such activities.
“I do believe that Epstein did a lot of, not all, but some of what he’s accused of, and I’m not here to defend him in any way,” Maxwell told Blanche. “I don’t want to, and I don’t think he requires, nor deserves any kind of protection or – from me in any way, to sugarcoat what he did or didn’t do.”
