Outrage from survivors follows first ladyās statement calling on Congress to hold public hearings with victims of Epsteinās abuse
More than a dozen survivors of Jeffrey Epsteinās abuse have accused Melania Trump of āshifting the burdenā on to them after she called on Congress to hold public hearings with victims of Epsteinās abuse.
āSurvivors of Jeffrey Epstein have already shown extraordinary courage by coming forward, filing reports, and giving testimony,ā said a group of 13 people and the brother and sister of the late Virginia Giuffre, who was one of the most vocal Epstein accusers, in a statement. āAsking more of them now is a deflection of responsibility not justice.ā
Their response came after the first lady delivered a surprise statement in which she denied that she ever had a relationship with Epstein and his accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell. She also said that she was not a victim of Epstein, had no knowledge of his crimes, and said that the late convicted sex offender did not introduce her to her husband, Donald Trump.
āThe lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today,ā she said, adding that ānumerous fake images and statements about Epstein and me have been calculating [sic] on social media for years nowā.
So this isnāt about empowering the victims of Epsteinās criminal enterprise to find justice, itās about punishing them for inconveniencing her?
Thatās utterly ghoulish. Jesus Christ, Melania.
I really donāt care. Do U?
I do. I care that the ones who enabled this see justice.
She wore a jacket that said that. Sheās a ghoul.
