The family of Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Roberts Giuffre released a statement after President Trump said Epstein “stole” Giuffre and other young women from a spa at Mar-a-Lago.

President Donald Trump said on Tuesday that Jeffrey Epstein “stole” Virginia Giuffre and other young women who worked at the spa in his Mar-a-Lago club.

“People were taken out of the spa, hired by him. In other words, gone,” Trump told reporters on Air Force One as he returned from Scotland to Washington, where he continues to face fallout from his administration’s handling of files related to Epstein.

Giuffre, ABC News previously reported, had accused Ghislaine Maxwell of recruiting her when she was 17 years old working as a locker-room attendant at Mar-a-Lago in 2000 and bringing her to Epstein’s home for a massage. Maxwell denies those allegations.
