"Yesterday, the very first email that the Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released showed Epstein writing Ghislaine Maxwell to say that Trump was the, quote, dog that hasn't barked and that a victim spent hours at Epstein's house with Trump. The Democrats on the committee redacted that victim's name, as they've tried to do with the names of all of the Epstein survivors, in part to allow them to tell their own stories on their own terms if they want to."
"But within an hour of the release, the Republican majority on the House Oversight Committee promptly outed the victim as Virginia Giuffre, apparently doing so just so they could point to past statements of Giuffre's in which she said she had never seen Trump do anything wrong. So again, they're outing Epstein survivor for political gain. And just to be clear, this was not a one off. White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt promptly did the same in a press release."
Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released emails from Jeffrey Epstein to Ghislaine Maxwell and Michael Wolff that referenced Donald Trump and mentioned a redacted victim. The committee redacted the victim's name to protect survivors and allow them to tell their stories on their own terms. Within an hour, House Republicans published additional documents and disclosed the redacted name as Virginia Roberts Giuffre. Republican disclosures and statements from Trump allies, including Karoline Leavitt and Fox host Sean Hannity, cited Giuffre's past statements to defend the president. MSNBC host Jen Psaki emotionally criticized Republicans and Trump allies for outing an Epstein survivor for political purposes.
