The family of Jeffrey Epstein victim Virginia Giuffre has demanded answers after President Donald Trump admitted he knew the billionaire pedophile ‘stole’ Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago resort.
The president claimed on Tuesday that the convicted sex offender took Giuffre when she was just 16 years old and working as a locker room attendant at the spa at his Florida estate.
He told the Daily Mail that is why he had a falling out with Epstein.
Giuffre’s family now says it was ‘shocking to hear President Trump invoke our sister and say that he was aware that Virginia had been “stolen” from Mar-a-Lago.
‘It makes us ask if he was aware of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell‘s criminal actions, especially given his statement two years later that his good friend Jeffrey “likes women on the younger side… no doubt about it,’ they said in a statement.
‘We and the public are asking for answers; survivors demand this.’
The family also hit out at Congress for considering to get Maxwell to testify about Epstein’s crimes.
‘If our sister could speak today, she would be most angered by the fact that the government is listening to a known perjurer. A woman who repeatedly lied under oath and will continue to do so as long as it benefits her position,’ the statement read.

President Donald Trump admitted that his falling out with Jeffrey Epstein took place after the billionaire pedophile ‘stole workers’ from his Mar-a-Lago club in the early 2000s
‘Ghislaine Maxwell is a monster who deserves to rot in prison for the rest of her life for the extraordinary violence and abuse she put not just our sister Virginia through, but many other survivors, who may number in the thousands. A predator who thought only of herself, she destroyed the lives of girls and young women without conscience…’ the family said.
Giuffre was one of the most prominent and vocal accusers of Epstein and Maxwell before she took her own life at the age of 41 earlier this year.
She has said she was recruited by Maxwell into Epstein’s sex ring in 2000 as a teenager working as a locker room attendant at the spa at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump seemed to confirm those reports in his remarks aboard Air Force One on Tuesday.
‘Everyone knows the people that were taken,’ he told reporters. ‘People were taken out of the spa hired by him.’
‘I didn’t know that. And then when I heard about it, I told him, I said, “Listen, we don’t want you taking our people, whether it was spa or not spa. I don’t want you taking people,” the president continued.
‘And he was fine. And then not too long after that, he did it again. And I said, “Out of here.”‘
Trump officially banned Epstein from his Mar-a-Lago club in 2004. But before that, both Epstein and Maxwell were photographed partying at the Palm Beach social club including with Trump’s then-girlfriend Melania.

Trump has offered a number of reasons over the years for his falling out with Epstein, who died in a New York prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges.
He previously said he cut off contact with Epstein because he was a ‘creep.’
Other reports say the two men fell out over an oceanfront Palm Beach property that was being sold out of bankruptcy that each man wanted.
But now the president’s one-time friendship with the financier is coming under renewed scrutiny after the Trump administration denied reports that Epstein kept a list of rich and powerful people for whom he trafficked young girls.
The president has now been accused of a cover-up and has been facing questions about his relationship with Epstein ever since.
It was even reported that Attorney General Pam Bondi told Trump at a May 2025 meeting that his name was found in the Epstein documents ‘multiple times.’
Trump has repeatedly denied the claims, but suggested on Monday that Democrats could have planted his name in files associated with the Epstein investigation.
He also claimed he ‘never had the privilege of going to his island, and I did turn it down.’
Even if the president is named in the files, it does not mean he’s implicated in any wrongdoing related to Epstein’s child sex trafficking.

Meanwhile, officials in Congress are moving forward with their efforts to get Maxwell to testify about Epstein’s crimes.
She met with Justice Department officials last week to discuss the case, and is scheduled to testify on August 11.
But her lawyer asked for immunity in exchange for her testimony – a request which has since been denied.
Maxwell is serving 20 years in prison for her involvement in Epstein’s sordid crimes. She was convicted in 2021 on five counts related to sex trafficking and conspiracy.
