Virginia Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, said he wants to know why the documents related to the investigation into sex offender Jeffrey Epstein have not been released, saying in part that “it’s time for these monsters to be exposed.”
Newsweek reached out to the Department of Justice (DOJ) via online form Thursday night for comment.
Why It Matters
Backlash regarding the investigation into the disgraced financier reached fever pitch this month after the DOJ and the FBI released a joint statement confirming that Epstein died by suicide in 2019 and that there was no “client list.”
Attorney General Pam Bondi has faced the brunt of the backlash from MAGA and Democrats alike as lawmakers plead for transparency and access to documents.
What To Know
Earlier this week, Trump was asked aboard Air Force One whether one of the workers “stolen” from his Mar-a-Lago Club by Epstein was Giuffre. Trump responded, “I don’t know. I think she worked at the spa. I think so, I think that was one of the people, yep. He stole her, and by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever.”
Trump’s comments prompted Giuffre’s family to release a statement, saying in part, “It was shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been ‘stolen’ from Mar-a-Lago,” the family said.
“We would like to clarify that it was convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell who targeted and preyed upon our then 16-year-old sister, Virginia, from Mar-a-Lago, where she was working in 2000, several years before Epstein and President Trump had their falling out,” Giuffre’s family added.
Giuffre died by suicide in April 2025 in Australia.
