The family of Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein's most prominent accusers, expressed shock over comments made by President Donald Trump. Trump suggested the disgraced financier 'stole' Giuffre from him and emphasized that Epstein's former associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, should remain incarcerated.

Giuffre, who accused notable figures like Britain's Prince Andrew of exploitation, became a magnet for conspiracy theories. She tragically ended her life earlier this year. Her family's statement comes amid new revelations about Maxwell, now serving a 20-year sentence and providing testimony against various individuals.

Trump, distancing himself from Epstein, maintains he ousted him from Mar-a-Lago over inappropriate behavior. As more layers of the Epstein saga unfold, the Giuffre family's demands for accountability resonate amidst calls for justice and transparency.
