Democratic lawmakers and the families of Jeffrey Epstein’s victims are outraged over the Trump administration’s latest “distraction” after the Department of Justice released transcripts and audio recordings from its interview with Ghislaine Maxwell.

During a wide-ranging two-day interview with a top DOJ official last month, Maxwell was asked about Virginia Giuffre, an outspoken victim of Epstein’s sexual abuse and grooming by Maxwell, who died by suicide in April.

Those meetings, Giuffre’s family says, gave the 63-year-old convicted sex trafficker a “platform to rewrite history.”

"The content of these transcripts is in direct contradiction with felon Ghislaine Maxwell’s conviction for child sex trafficking,” the family said in a statement. “This travesty of justice entirely invalidates the experiences of the many brave survivors who put their safety, security, and lives on the line to ensure her conviction, including our sister.”

    And lose what little support they actually have right now? That'd be political suicide.

    Shit, we don't even need the files. We know he did it, and we know we're not going to get him punished the normal way for it. Something new has to happen here.

    History is written by the victors. Our country’s history is being rewritten by a bunch of corrupt, crybaby, racist, idiots.

    She wasn't the one who wrote it. She just memorized it.
