The brother of one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent victims has condemned Donald Trump for considering a pardon for sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

Earlier this week, Trump said he would “take a look at” a pardon for Epstein’s long-time partner.

Speaking to MSNBC, the brother of Virginia Giuffre Sky Roberts slammed the president.

“It really is disgraceful, and it’s very hurtful,” Roberts said.

“She was convicted of basically running a sex trafficking ring. And so at this time, like, what does this teach our children? What does this teach the people around us?”

Giuffre, who died in Western Australia earlier this year, was one of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims.

She described Maxwell as the “devil’s right-hand man”.

On Monday Trump was asked whether he would grant Maxwell a pardon.

“You know, I haven’t heard the name in so long. I can say this, that I’d have to take a look at it. I would have to take a look,” he said.

“I’ll take a look at it. I will speak to the DOJ (Department of Justice).

“I wouldn’t consider it or not consider, I don’t know anything about it.”

Roberts also lamented the decision from House Speaker Mike Johnson to not swear in newly-elected congresswoman Adelita Grijalva.

“I think he’s forgetting that these are human lives,” he said.

“These are actual victims and survivors, including my sister and the families… that are still suffering a great loss.”

Grijalva’s signature would clinch a majority on a vote to release the government’s files on the Epstein investigation.

Despite winning her election in a landslide more than two weeks ago, Johnson has refused to swear in Grijalva.

Typically winners of special elections are sworn into Congress the following day.

Grijalva has tied this refusal directly to her vote on the Epstein files.

Johnson has denied his decision not to swear her in is connected to that vote.

“It has nothing to do with Epstein,” Johnson said.

Yesterday Trump’s attorney-general refused to give a direct answer when asked if the FBI had discovered photographs of Donald Trump with “semi-naked young women”, as had been previously reported.
