President Donald Trump faces mounting pressure from politicians within his own party as well as Democrats to release the so-called Epstein files.
Virginia Giuffre, who sued Prince Andrew for sexual abuse in 2021 and died earlier this year, wanted the Jeffrey Epstein files released, her siblings have said.
“She had a little bit of hope in her because it was said that the files were going to be released,” Amanda Roberts, Ms Giuffre’s sister-in-law, said in an interview reported by Sky News’ US sister outlet, NBC News.
Ms Giuffre became a household name after she sued Prince Andrew for sexual abuse in August 2021 – saying he had sex with her when she was 17 and had been trafficked by his friend Epstein.
Prince Andrew reached an out-of-court settlement with Ms Giuffre but has repeatedly denied the claims and has not been charged with any criminal offences.
Discussing the potential release of the files, Ms Roberts said: “She was fighting for that to happen right up until the very end.
“She wanted the public to know the crimes that they had committed.”President Donald Trump faces mounting pressure from politicians within his own party as well as Democrats to release the so-called Epstein files.
“We’ve constantly had to relive, since my sister’s passing, these things from her past,” Danny Wilson, one of Ms Giuffre’s brothers, said in the interview reported by NBC.
