Don’t back off
Donald Trump is floating the possibility of pardoning Ghislaine Maxwell or commuting her 20-year sentence for sex trafficking underage girls. No one in his administration is taking responsibility for moving Maxwell to a “Club Fed” prison. Jeffery Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell victims are not having it.
Two victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking ring blasted the Trump administration over the notorious case Monday, with one accusing the Justice Department of prioritizing protection of the dead pedophile’s rich friends over the women he abused.
“I am not sure the highest priority here is the victims, justice for the victims or combating child exploitation,” read one of the two letters submitted in Manhattan federal court.
“… 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.”
Ya think? The two anonymous victims think.

The second letter slammed the feds for meeting last month with Epstein’s convicted accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell — who was subsequently rewarded with a prison transfer one week after the shocking sitdown.
The second letter also asked District Judge Richard Berman that victims’ lawyers review any DOJ “‘suggested’ redactions” before making the documents public.
“[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,” their letter read.
“They would rather ask a convicted imprisoned sex trafficker/abuser for information,” the victim added, referencing Maxwell.
The same victim described feeling “disdain, disgust and fear” at the administration’s response to the Epstein saga.
“I wish you would have handled and would handle the whole ‘Epstein Files’ with more respect towards and for the victims,” the letter reads. “I am not some pawn in your political warfare.
Donald Trump is now obsessed with the coverup and with a convicted sex trafficker. Enough is indeed enough.
