Victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s trafficking ring condemned the Trump administration, accusing the DOJ of focusing on protecting Epstein’s wealthy friends instead of pursuing justice for the victims. One letter emphasized concerns about the prioritization of affluent defendants over child exploitation, suggesting the DOJ seeks to redact their names from records. Additionally, victims expressed dismay over a recent meeting with Ghislaine Maxwell, criticizing the federal agencies' disregard for victims’ narratives and truths, while advocating for victim lawyers to oversee any redactions prior to disclosure to the public.
"I am not sure the highest priority here is the victims, justice for the victims or combating child exploitation. Rather, I feel like the DOJ's and FBI's priority is protecting the 'third-party,' the wealthy men by focusing on scrubbing their names off the files."
"[T]hey are the ones who also know the victims, their names, their truths and their stories unlike the United States Government who did not and does not even care to know our truth."
"I wish you would have handled and would handle the whole 'Epstein Files' with more respect towards and for the victims. I am not some pawn in your political warfare."
"What you have done and continue to do is eating at me day after day."
