'A slap in the face': Family members rage at Trump defenders hijacking Epstein victim's remarks
Donald Trump and his defenders have responded to the newly released tranche of Jeffrey Epstein documents by seeking to discredit any references to Trump that they contain, including by exposing the redacted name of Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre and treating her cherry-picked remarks as if they exonerate Trump of any wrongdoing. Sky and Amanda Roberts, Giuffre's brother and sister-in-law, talk with Jen Psaki about their outrage at Trump defenders trying to hijack her story for their political purposes while ignoring the crimes and the survivors seeking justice. Jen Psaki shares how a particularly damning photo of former prince Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor with Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Roberts Giuffre and Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, which both Maxwell and Mountbatten-Windsor had insisted was fake, appears to be authenticated by an e-mail released by Epstein's estate.
