Welcome back to The Red Letter.
I told myself I’d go quiet for a bit—dig in, do the reporting that actually moves this story forward. And I will. That promise still stands. But I had to resurface for one reason: to directly refute President Trump’s grotesque claim that he was offended Jeffrey Epstein “stole” Virginia Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago.
As if a human being could be stolen like a Rolex.
Virginia Giuffre isn’t alive to defend herself. But I’ve spent countless hours reporting her story for Broken: Jeffrey Epstein. I knew her. I listened. I spent months and months finding second sources to back up her story, which sounds unbelievable because of the horrors she endured. And I can say, without hesitation: that was not the story she told me.
🔐 Trump says Epstein “stole” Virginia Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago. But the story Giuffre told me—before she died—was very different. In this piece, I break down what she said about Trump, the timeline that doesn't add up, and what her attorney told me that Trump doesn’t want you to hear.
