The family of Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre is urging President Donald Trump not to show any leniency toward Ghislaine Maxwell as she seeks a way out of prison for her involvement in the crimes of the disgraced financier.
Speaking to reporters on Air Force One on Tuesday, Trump mentioned that Epstein “stole” Giuffre while she was working at his Florida estate years ago.
Referring to Giuffre, Trump said, “I think she worked at the spa. He stole her, and by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever.”
This revelation offered further insights into the narrative of Epstein’s years of sexual abuse involving underage girls before his suicide in 2019, notably impacting Giuffre’s family, who have long sought answers.
Maxwell’s attorney and Giuffre’s family did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment.
Maxwell’s legal team is requesting the U.S. Supreme Court to consider an appeal of her 2021 conviction, with a discussion set for a private conference on Sept. 29.
Given recent talks about potentially offering Maxwell an incentive for her testimony, Giuffre’s family urges officials not to fall for it and calls on the Trump administration to uphold its commitment to accountability and transparency.
“The government and the President should never consider giving Ghislaine Maxwell any leniency,” Giuffre’s family said. “Maxwell destroyed many young lives, and she was convicted for only a fraction of the crimes she actually committed.”
