Vice President JD Vance was set to hold a dinner at the Naval Observatory which aimed to address the Trump administration's efforts to manage the Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell scandal. However, the dinner was cancelled. Trump dismissed the concerns related to Epstein, stating they were unfounded. His comments regarding his relationship with Epstein and specific individuals involved drew significant media attention, indicating that the administration's attempts to divert attention from the scandal were ineffective. This situation was compounded by Trump's own remarks during a meeting that raised further questions.
When reporters asked if that included the late Virginia Giuffre—a high schooler whom Maxwell recruited from Trump's Mar-a-Lago spa and who was reportedly sex trafficked by the pair for years—he rather shockingly told the truth. 'I think she worked at the spa,' he told reporters. 'He stole her.'
Trump answered, also truthfully: to make sure that further disclosures don't damage people who could 'be hurt by something that would be very, very unfortunate, very unfair to a lot of people.'
