In a fiery statement that channeled their late sister’s unyielding spirit, Virginia Giuffre’s family declared outright war on the lingering secrecy after the Justice Department dumped thousands of Epstein files on December 19, 2025—only to drown them in thick, unforgiving black redactions that buried potential bombshells.T

In a fiery response to the U.S. Justice Department’s partial and heavily redacted release of Jeffrey Epstein files on December 19, 2025, the family of the late Virginia Giuffre has vowed an unrelenting fight for full transparency, declaring the ongoing secrecy a “war” against survivors and justice.

Giuffre, Epstein’s most prominent accuser who tragically died by suicide in April 2025 at age 41, had long demanded accountability for the elite network surrounding the convicted sex offender. Her brother, Sky Roberts, expressed profound disappointment, telling media outlets the release felt incomplete: “There’s a lot more to go.” In interviews, family members described “mixed feelings,” praising minor revelations like victim complaints but slamming excessive blackouts—entire pages obscured, faces hidden in photos, and key investigative details withheld.

The DOJ dumped thousands of documents, including photos of Epstein with figures like Bill Clinton, flight logs, and property images, but critics noted glaring omissions. At least 550 pages were fully redacted, including a 119-page New York grand jury transcript. Lawmakers from both parties, alongside survivors like Marina Lacerda and Marijke Chartouni, decried the redactions as shielding powerful individuals rather than solely protecting victims.

Giuffre’s relatives, including Sky Roberts and Danny Wilson, echoed this outrage in statements and videos, with one family member proclaiming, “This is a war now.” They seek accountability, urging judicial oversight, lawsuits, and unredacted disclosures. “Virginia fought her whole life for this,” Roberts said. “She would be devastated by these half-measures.”

The release stemmed from the bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act, mandating full disclosure by December 19. Yet the DOJ admitted it was partial, citing review time and privacy—prompting accusations of non-compliance and cover-up. Congressional Democrats threatened legal action, while some Republicans joined calls for explanations.

Giuffre’s posthumous memoir Nobody’s Girl had already reignited scrutiny with allegations against figures like Prince Andrew and a former prime minister. Her family’s renewed resolve honors that legacy, insisting hidden truths perpetuate Epstein’s shadows. As demands mount for the remaining files, their battle underscores a broader cry: no more protection for the powerful at survivors’ expense.
