"Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have already shown extraordinary courage by coming forward, filing reports, and giving testimony. Asking more of them now is a deflection of responsibility not justice."
"The first lady urged Congress to hold public hearings and take sworn testimony from survivors of Epstein's crimes, but survivors feel this shifts the burden onto them."
"The group of Epstein survivors stated that the first lady is now shifting the burden onto survivors under politicized conditions that protect those with power."
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse criticized Melania Trump for her recent statement calling for public hearings with victims. They accused her of deflecting responsibility and shifting the burden onto them. Trump denied any relationship with Epstein and urged Congress to take action. Survivors expressed that her remarks politicize their experiences and protect powerful individuals. They emphasized that the focus should remain on accountability for those involved in Epstein's crimes, rather than placing additional demands on the victims who have already shown immense courage.
