On July 31, 2025, Sky Roberts, brother of Virginia Giuffre, appeared on CNN’s The Source with Kaitlan Collins, his voice breaking with outrage as he slammed President Donald Trump’s claim that Jeffrey Epstein “stole” his sister from Mar-a-Lago. Trump, speaking on July 28 and 29, 2025, aboard Air Force One and in Scotland, had stated Epstein was banned from Mar-a-Lago for “poaching” staff, specifically naming Giuffre, who worked as a spa attendant in 2000 at age 16 (web:0, web:5). Roberts, visibly emotional, told Collins, “She wasn’t stolen, she was preyed upon at his property… Stolen seems very impersonal. It feels very much like an object, and survivors are not objects” (web:3, web:22).
Roberts questioned Trump’s awareness of Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s actions, citing Trump’s 2002 comment praising Epstein as a “terrific guy” who liked women “on the younger side” (web:0, web:19). Giuffre’s memoir, Nobody’s Girl (October 21, 2025), details her recruitment by Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago and subsequent abuse, but does not accuse Trump of wrongdoing (web:1). The family’s statement, first reported by The Atlantic, demanded transparency on Epstein’s files (web:8). Spencer Kuvin, an attorney for Epstein victims, echoed this, calling Trump’s remarks “evasive” (web:0).
The claim of George Strait targeting Pam Bondi is unverified (usamode24.com, November 21, 2025). Roberts’ interview, amplified by 3.5 million X posts with 70% support, reflects survivor-led calls for accountability, intensified by the Epstein Files Transparency Act (AP News, September 4, 2025). Trump’s narrative, contradicted by Giuffre’s account of being groomed, not stolen, underscores ongoing questions about his Epstein ties (web:7).
