Trump’s ‘Stolen’ Claim Ignites Fury: Giuffre Family Demands Answers in Epstein Scandal

Washington, D.C., August 2, 2025 – A resurfaced photo of Virginia Giuffre alongside Donald Trump and Jeffrey Epstein has reignited a firestorm, paired with a scathing caption: “I don’t know if I can think of a worse defense against being called a pedophile than to say you stopped being friends with another pedophile because he stole a teenager from you.” Trump’s recent claim that Epstein “stole” Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago has outraged her family, who slammed his words as “dehumanizing” and demanded full transparency in the Epstein case, declaring, “Survivors deserve answers.” Is Trump hiding something in the shadows of this scandal?

The Shocking Claim That Sparked Outrage

In a July 30, 2025, interview aboard Air Force One, Trump alleged that Jeffrey Epstein “stole” Virginia Giuffre and other young women from the spa staff at Mar-a-Lago, leading to their fallout. “He took people working for me,” Trump said, confirming Giuffre “may have worked in the spa” and that Epstein “stole her away” (Reuters, ABC News). Giuffre, who tragically took her own life in April 2025, was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell from Mar-a-Lago in 2000 at age 16, later becoming one of Epstein’s most vocal accusers (9News).

But Trump’s narrative doesn’t just shed light on his ties to Epstein—it raises chilling questions: What did he know about Epstein’s actions at the time? And why didn’t he act sooner?

Giuffre Family: “She Wasn’t Stolen—She Was Preyed Upon”

Giuffre’s family didn’t hide their fury at Trump’s choice of words. “It was shocking to hear President Trump say Virginia was ‘stolen,’” her brother Sky Roberts told AP News. “She was preyed upon, not stolen. She’s not an object!” (AP News). They argue his language not only insults her memory but obscures the truth: Virginia was a victim of grooming and abuse as a minor.

The family also questions Trump’s awareness. If he knew Epstein was “stealing” girls from Mar-a-Lago, why was no legal action taken? Trump’s 2002 praise of Epstein as a “terrific guy” who liked “younger women” only deepens suspicions about his complicity (Hindustan Times).

Demanding Transparency: “Survivors Deserve Answers”

The Giuffre family has called for the release of all Epstein-related documents, insisting, “Survivors deserve answers.” The demand has gained traction on social media, with #SurvivorsDeserveAnswers trending (Axios). They also vehemently oppose any pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell—convicted for aiding Epstein’s abuse—calling her “unworthy of freedom” (News.com.au).

Lawmakers like Senator Elizabeth Warren joined the chorus: “Trump’s ‘stolen’ remark raises too many questions. Release the Epstein files now!” (The Daily Beast).

Virginia Giuffre’s Legacy of Courage

Virginia Giuffre was not just a victim but a symbol of resilience. Abused from age 16, she bravely confronted Epstein and his enablers, from Prince Andrew to Maxwell. Her lawsuits—including a defamation win against Maxwell—shook the halls of power (Marie Claire). Her death in April 2025 has only intensified calls for accountability.

“Virginia faced threats, bankruptcy, and relentless scrutiny. She never gave up, and neither will we,” her family vowed (AP News).

Unanswered Questions: What Did Trump Know?

Trump’s “stolen” claim doesn’t just stir controversy—it raises a glaring question: If he knew Epstein was targeting young girls at Mar-a-Lago, why didn’t he alert authorities? Discrepancies in his “cut-off” timeline—2004 by his account, 2007 per records—fuel doubts (The Independent).

The photo and its mocking caption have become a lightning rod. “This isn’t just about Trump—it’s about accountability for all involved,” one X user wrote (Axios).

The Fight for Justice Continues

The Epstein case remains unresolved, and the Giuffre family’s battle rages on. “Survivors deserve answers,” they insist—a message echoing across America. With Maxwell behind bars and Epstein’s files still shrouded, the quest for truth promises to be fierce.
