The family of Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre is urging President Donald Trump not to consider “any leniency” for Ghislaine Maxwell as she seeks a way out of prison for her role in the disgraced financier’s crimes.

While speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One on Tuesday, Trump revealed Epstein “stole” Giuffre while she was working at his Florida estate decades ago. 

“I think she worked at the spa,” Trump said as he departed Scotland, referring to Giuffre. “He stole her, and by the way, she had no complaints about us, as you know, none whatsoever.” 

The revelation further peeled back the curtain on the narrative surrounding Epstein’s years of sexual abuse towards underage girls before his suicide in 2019, especially for Giuffre’s family, who have spent decades looking for answers. 

Maxwell’s attorney and Giuffre’s family did not immediately respond to Fox News Digital’s request for comment. 

Maxwell’s legal team is also asking the U.S. Supreme Court to hear an appeal of her 2021 conviction – a decision the court is set to discuss in a private conference on Sept. 29. 

In light of the recent conversations toying with the possibility of Maxwell receiving an incentive in exchange for her testimony, Giuffre’s family is imploring officials to not take the bait, while asking the Trump administration to maintain its promises of accountability and transparency. 

“The government and the President should never consider giving Ghislaine Maxwell any leniency,” Giuffre’s family said. “Maxwell destroyed many young lives, and she was convicted for only a fraction of the crimes she actually committed.”
