Los Angeles (AP) – Women who say they were abused by Jeffrey Epstein, feeling doubt and concerned about dealing with the records related to the guilty sex criminals of the Department of Justice, as an over -appointment of transparency with some more public revelations, and others express concern about their personality and inspirations of trump administration.
In letters addressed to the federal judges in New York this week, several victims or their lawyers said that they would support the public release of Grand Jury testimony, which led to criminal prosecution against Epstein and their ex -girlfriend, Ghhishline Maxwell – if the government agreed to allow them to review the material and review sensitive information.
The Department of Justice has asked the court to take rare steps to ignore the rare tapes of secret testimony, which is to tell those who believe that the government has hidden some things about Epstein’s wrongdoing.
Meanwhile, other victims accused President Donald Trump of ignoring the victims, as they try to focus on Epstein, who killed themselves in 2019, while waiting to prosecute the allegations that they sexually abused habitual girls. Some people expressed concern that the administration – in their curiosity to overcome the scam – Maxwell killer, future prosecution may give the situation of immunity or better stay in jail as part of a deal to testify to the Congress.
“I am not a pawn in your political war,” an alleged victim wrote in a letter submitted by his lawyer to the court this week. “What you have done and whatever you have done, is eating food during the day after the day because you help end this story indefinitely.”
Another victim was added, in an anonymous presented letter on Wednesday: “It is all very tedious.”
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 for helping Epstein sexually abusing weak girls and serving a 20 -year prison sentence. An officer of the Department of Justice, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche interviewed Maxwell for late nine hours last month, saying that he wanted to hear anything that he had to say about the misdeeds committed by Epstein or others. After that interview, Maxwell was transferred from a federal prison in Florida to a low-protection jail camp in Texas.
Alicia Arden, who said Epstein sexually assaulted her in the late 1990s, held a news conference in Los Angeles on Wednesday. She said that she would support the release of additional materials related to the case, including a transcript of Maxwell’s interview with the blanch.
But he also expressed displeasure over the possibility that the Maxwell could receive the apology or other special treatment through the process, saying that the Department of Justice was “very upset” till now.
The Trump administration has faced weeks from some sections of the President’s political base, demanding public disclosure of files related to Epstein. Epstein has long been the theme of the principles of conspiracy as his friendship with rich and powerful, including Trump himself, Prince Andrew of Britain and former President Bill Clinton.
Last month, the Department of Justice announced that it would not issue additional files related to Epstein Sex Trafficking Investigation.
The prosecutors later asked to ignore the grand jury tape, although they have told the court that they have very little information that has not already been made public. The two judges who will decide whether to release the tape, then asked the victims to share their views on the matter.
In a letter submitted in the court on Tuesday, lawyers Brad Edwards and Paul Cassel, who represent many Epstein victims, wrote: “For the remaining people who bravely testified, Ms. Maxwell is being legally legalized in the public discourse, has already been shocked again.”
David Oscar Marcus, a lawyer from Maxwell, said that he opposed the release of Grand Jury Tape.
“Jeffrey Epstein is dead. Ghislane is not Maxwell,” he wrote. “Whatever the public may be interested in Epstein, the interest in a case in a case cannot be correct a comprehensive infiltration in the grand jury privacy where the defendants are alive, their legal options are viable, and their proper procedure remains rights.”
The Department of Justice did not respond to the request of comment on the statements of the victims.
