The family of Virginia Giuffre, a key accuser of Jeffrey Epstein, has expressed strong discontent regarding the Department of Justice's release of transcripts from an interview with Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre's relatives claim that the transcripts provide Maxwell with an opportunity to distort the truth about her involvement in Epstein's sex-trafficking operations.

Giuffre has long maintained that Maxwell played a significant role in Epstein's criminal activities. In a statement, her family stated they are "outraged" by the DOJ's decision to publish the interview, which they believe allows Maxwell to manipulate the narrative surrounding her actions.

Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in Epstein's crimes, has consistently denied Giuffre's allegations. The family argues that the DOJ's actions undermine the experiences of Epstein's victims and could potentially hinder ongoing efforts to seek justice.

The release of the transcripts has sparked further discussions about accountability and the treatment of victims in high-profile cases. Giuffre's family hopes that their concerns will lead to a reevaluation of how such interviews are handled in the future.
