"The top Democrat on a congressional committee investigating the government's handling of Jeffrey Epstein's case demanded on Wednesday that Pam Bondi, the attorney general, turn over files related to the alleged sex trafficker, citing revelations from the posthumous memoir of a prominent abuse survivor. Virginia Giuffre's memoir Nobody's Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, published this week, details how Epstein and his associate Ghislaine Maxwell groomed and manipulated her."
"In his letter to Bondi, the committee's Democratic ranking member Robert Garcia said that the attorney general must hand over further documents about the case, citing details of Epstein and Maxwell's abuse Giuffre reveals in her book. Virginia Giuffre's allegations are heartbreaking and horrific, including testimony that prominent world and US leaders perpetrated sexual assault and sex trafficking of girls and young women. Ms Giuffre clearly contradicts the agency's claim that the Epstein files did not justify further investigation, Garcia said in a statement."
Robert Garcia, the committee's Democratic ranking member, demanded that Attorney General Pam Bondi turn over files related to Jeffrey Epstein, citing revelations in Virginia Giuffre's memoir. Giuffre details how Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell groomed and manipulated her and alleges prominent world and US leaders perpetrated sexual assault and sex trafficking of girls and young women. Garcia said Giuffre's allegations contradict the agency's earlier claim that the Epstein files did not justify further investigation and urged the Justice Department to comply with a congressional subpoena approved in August. Concerns flared after the Justice Department announced Epstein died by suicide and that no client list existed, prompting a House oversight inquiry.
