Late Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre wanted Trump to be president because he campaigned on releasing the files

Virginia Giuffre, one of Jeffrey Epstein’s most famous accusers, was reportedly a fan of President Donald Trump.

Amy Wallace, a journalist and the ghostwriter of Giuffre’s memoir, which is being published Tuesday posthumously, told CBS “Sunday Morning” that Giuffre wanted Trump to be president because he campaigned on releasing the Epstein files.

“And she was excited about that,” Wallace said. “She was very excited that he had made that one of the main planks of his campaign. And she felt validated by it.”

Giuffre died by suicide in April at age 41 after she was hospitalized following a serious accident. She wrote in an email to Wallace before her death that it was her “heartfelt wish” that her memoir, “Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice,” be released regardless of her circumstances. The memoir will reportedly offer an “unsparing and definitive account of her time” with Epstein, who died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking charges.

It's 2025 and this has been reported on for years. He also has his own past with women excluding the Epstein stuff.

I don't get this.

with this whole Epstein thing than we know about. It may not be what everyone wants it to be. The right wants it to be Clinton. The left wants it to be Trump. We may never know the truth.

All the respect in the world for Virginia, but the accident she was in was NOT serious, as bystanders and witnesses have attested.

Perhaps she had some memory lapse, some trauma that she couldn't get through to see that Trump was never going to do this, he is in the files.

Given that Epstein trafficked her to many of the men she met through him including Prince Andrew, it's easy for me to believe that she wouldn't think of Trump as being one of Epstein's associates who was raping young girls like her as Epstein didn't traffic her to him.

However, she knew that Trump had to know what Epstein was doing and yet did nothing to stop him. I would think that should have been enough for her to not trust that he would release the files on Epstein.
