Overview
- President Trump said he expelled Jeffrey Epstein from Mar-a-Lago because the financier “stole” spa employees, including Virginia Giuffre, marking his latest shifting explanation for their falling out.
- Giuffre’s siblings called the description “shocking,” demanded clarity on what Trump knew of Epstein’s crimes and urged him to reject any clemency for Maxwell.
- Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche has interviewed Maxwell under limited immunity, during which she reportedly provided information on roughly 100 associates.
- The White House maintains no clemency for Maxwell is under consideration even as her attorneys seek presidential relief and Congress explores her potential testimony.
- Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle are pressing to unseal grand jury transcripts and Justice Department documents related to the Epstein probe.
