Lawyers said that despite Trump’s vow to investigate, there was “no outreach” for Epstein’s victims. Jeffrey Epstein

More than six months, Donald Trump His Justice Department insists they will reach the bottom Jeffrey EpsteinThe Justice Department has not contacted them recently, but nine lawyers representing about 50 Epstein survivors told the Guardian.

Revelation doubts about this Trump administration Fully investigate Epstein’s crimes and activities and reveal what the government knows about him. When Trump faced strong political pressure, including from his own base, social ties to Epstein, who is known for his social ties to bring rich and powerful figures to his circle.

“The Department of Justice or Members of Congress seek to interview my clients, and still have no publicity for me to interview my clients,” said Gloria Allred, a civil attorney representing 27 Epstein survivors.

“No, nothing was heard. As usual, survivors are ignored in political struggles,” said Lisa Bloom, who represents 11 Epstein survivors.

Spencer Kuvin, Chief Legal Officer GoldlauLikewise, law enforcement or Congress has no publicity. The House Oversight Committee has issued a subpoena about Epstein and met with some victims earlier this week. The group did release a series of documents, provided by the Department of Justice based on subpoena, but there was little new information.

“I got nothing from the Justice Department and they didn’t provide the latest news to my clients. I’ve even volunteered to talk to the committee chair to talk to them about the initial investigation and litigation. The letter was completely ignored,” Kuvin said. “It’s shocking that the federal government has once again failed to keep the victims at the center of the investigation. Instead, it seems that all governments have been interested in all interests and are trying to paint the previous investigation.”

Jennifer Freeman, special counsel for Marsh law firm, represented Epstein survivor Maria Farmer in the federal government, condemned the apparent lack of outreach and pointed to a long conversation between Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

“It was so cruel for the Justice Department to ignore or fire Epstein and Maxwell’s survivors for decades – and recently, the second command took two days to get known sexual abuser Ghislane Maxwell into trouble and raise her gentle, powdery questions instead of conducting a real and proper investigation.”

“The Department of Justice not only refuses to interact with survivors, but they also hinder regular and valid requests for information. In January 2025, responding to basic FOIA [Freedom of Information Act] Asked, the government told us that they will respond in November 2027 – about three years later. That’s bad, totally unacceptable. ”

“My last contact with the Justice Department was during the Maxwell trial, when I represented Carolyn Andriano as a witness in the Division,” said attorney Jack Scarola. Dead Drug overdose in May 2023.

Another lawyer simply said: “The Justice Department’s words are not.”

Facing numerous public commitments from Trump and others in other administrations, there is a lack of publicity flies to investigate Epstein in a comprehensive and transparent manner.

U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi, Pamela Bondi, Pamela Bondi, Pamela Bondi, Pamela Bondi explain In February, it released some Epstein documents. “The first phase of the document released today sheds light on Epstein’s extensive network and begins providing long-term overdue accountability to the public.”

The spread of archives in February this year proved to have laid the foundation for the controversy and continued to serve as Trump’s presidency. These Epstein’s documents contain to a large extent information already in the public domain.

The disclosure has not yet included a list of alleged Epstein clients that has long proven to be a beluga Right-wing conspiracy theorist They think it will show that Epstein draws to traffic teenage girls with high-profile people.

July, Bondi Announce Her department and the FBI will not publish more documents and claim that there is no list of clients, which makes people even more turbulent. Then come Report Bundy told Trump that his name appeared several times in Epstein’s archives, causing another political blow to the U.S. president.

Justice obvious damage control work is extensive. They requested a release Grand Jury Transcript In Epstein’s criminal case and in Maxwell’s lawsuit. Legal expert explain The grand jury’s transcript had little revelational information; these requests were ultimately rejected.

Blanche, Interview Maxwell helped Epstein commit a crime in late July. Maxwell at that time move Shortly thereafter, a low-security prison camp was infuriated by the victims. The Justice Department released a transcript of Maxwell’s interview on August 22, but the minutes of the meeting refused to calm the demand for information, such as Blanche’s problem There seems to be no discussion on key issues, especially with Trump or those close to him.

But there is still a lack of publicity for victims who are contrary to traditional investigative methods. Attorneys say interacting with survivors is an integral part of criminal investigations into sex offenders and other serious crimes.

“If law enforcement is seriously investigating some crime, they should be the first attorney to call the victim and the victim,” said Eric Faddis, trial attorney and founder of Denver firm Varner Faddis.

“You are getting information from people who are sourced, present and have first-hand knowledge and there may be a lot of information, most of which may not be public, and some of them may not be disclosed to anyone.”

He said talking to survivors rather than limiting inquiries to accomplices or associates will help with better fact-finding.

“Accomplices can talk about the so-called culprits that may not have the private ones. But I think reciprocity is right, and victims can talk about knowledge that measured with their own eyes, and sometimes, when accomplices pass on information, this information may be colored or biased or conveyed by impure motivations, and like to help themselves to help themselves.”

“Victims, they may not have any motivation to build information to benefit them, at least not like accomplices who sit in prison cells.”

A survivor-centric approach is key, said Lindsay M Goldbrum, a partner at Goddard Law in New York City.

“As other high-profile cases, as a lawyer for survivors, proactive, traumatized publicity in law enforcement is crucial. When survivors and their attorneys are not in contact with their attorneys, it can enable participation and undermine confidence in the process,” Goldbrum said. “I can’t talk about the details of the Epstein/Maxwell investigation, but in practice, participation is important.”

When asked about victim outreach, the Justice Department said in an email that “no comments”.

Epstein survivors continue to promote transparency and justice outside the Justice Department. Several survivors on Wednesday Expressed support The bipartisan resolution issued all Epstein documents.

Survivors also filed a lawsuit against the U.S. government against federal law enforcement agencies against action against Epstein 20 years ago.

Jennifer Plotkin, representing 33 survivors, and Jordan Merson, of Merson Law, are starting a civil lawsuit against survivors 20 years ago. Trump’s Justice Department has urged to dismiss the lawsuit.

“The FBI refuses to accept accountability and continues to fight the dozens of Epstein victims we represent. Why the FBI fights these women while they are Acknowledge responsibility To Larry Nassar victim? “The government said it wanted to keep moving forward, but it was still confrontational, not sympathetic,” Plotkin said. ”
