The family of the late Virginia Giuffre, a key accuser of Jeffrey Epstein, has publicly condemned the Department of Justice for its recent actions concerning convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell. The family’s outrage centers on the release of transcripts from a prison interview between Maxwell and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, as well as Maxwell’s subsequent transfer to a less secure correctional facility.
The family told NBC News that they believe the Department of Justice’s actions provided Maxwell an opportunity to present a version of events that contradicts her conviction and undermines the courage of the many survivors who came forward. “During [Deputy Attorney General] Todd Blanche’s bizarre interview, she is never challenged about her court-proven lies, providing her a platform to rewrite history.”
