Overview

• President Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One that Jeffrey Epstein “stole” multiple spa employees from Mar-a-Lago and confirmed Virginia Giuffre was among those recruited.
• Trump said he barred Epstein from Mar-a-Lago after learning the financier hired away club staff, framing that theft as the catalyst for their fallout.
• Virginia Giuffre was first recruited at 16 by Ghislaine Maxwell from the Mar-a-Lago spa and later became a leading accuser of Epstein before dying by suicide in April.
• The Department of Justice issued a July 7 memo declaring no incriminating “client list” was found in its exhaustive Epstein file review and has resisted unsealing grand jury materials.
• Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche is interviewing Ghislaine Maxwell under a limited-immunity agreement even as the House Oversight Committee pushes for unredacted records.
