"If there's one takeaway from Virginia Giuffre's posthumous memoir, it's that the unrepentant child trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein's partner in crime, should never, ever be considered for the pardon or commutation that President Trump has hinted at. Trump violated all of Maxwell's many victims when he inexcusably allowed her to be transferred to a minimum security prison in apparent exchange for her assurances to Justice Department lawyers that she never saw him sexually abuse underage girls."
"In the name of justice, Maxwell must serve her entire 20-year sentence. Even House Speaker Mike Johnson, who otherwise has humored Trump at every turn, has expressed revulsion at the idea of a pardon. This is not to downplay the importance of the moving story Giuffre tells in Nobody's Girl, which was completed with her ghostwriter, journalist Amy Wallace, before Giuffre took her own life in April at 41."
Virginia Giuffre recounts prolonged sexual abuse and trafficking by Ghislaine Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein, describing being kept essentially as a sex slave for two years. The memoir alleges trafficking to powerful men, including a prince, a former prime minister, a former governor, a prominent scientist, and unnamed billionaires. The piece demands that Maxwell serve her full 20-year sentence and opposes any pardon or commutation. It criticizes President Trump for facilitating Maxwell's transfer to a minimum-security facility in apparent exchange for assurances about his conduct. The book was completed with ghostwriter Amy Wallace before Giuffre died at 41, and calls persist to release related files.
