The family of Virginia Giuffre, the late Epstein accuser who died by suicide in April 2025 at age 41, has voiced deep shock and outrage over President Donald Trump’s recent assertion that Jeffrey Epstein “stole” her from Mar-a-Lago.
In remarks aboard Air Force One on July 29, 2025, Trump claimed his fallout with Epstein stemmed from the financier’s poaching of young spa employees, explicitly confirming Giuffre as one. “He stole her,” Trump said, framing it as employee theft that led to Epstein’s ban from the club.
Giuffre’s siblings released a statement expressing profound dismay: “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.” They rejected the characterization, clarifying that “it was convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell who targeted and preyed upon our then 16-year-old sister” in summer 2000—years before the reported rift.
The family questioned the timeline, noting Giuffre’s recruitment occurred in 2000, while Trump once called Epstein a “terrific guy” in 2002 and records suggest Epstein remained affiliated with Mar-a-Lago until around 2007. Trump’s sudden revelation raises implications about what he knew of Epstein and Maxwell’s activities, especially given prior explanations like a property dispute.
Giuffre’s brother, Sky Roberts, tearfully told media: “She’s not an object, she’s a person—a mom, a sister.” The family demanded full release of Epstein files and urged no pardon for Maxwell, serving 20 years for trafficking, whom they called a “monster” more cruel than Epstein at times.
Trump’s comments, amid ongoing scrutiny of elite Epstein ties, have intensified calls for transparency, leaving Giuffre’s loved ones grieving anew over a life marked by trauma and advocacy.
