Virginia Giuffre Was a ‘Huge Trump Fan’ Because She Believed He’d Release Epstein Files, Ghostwriter Says

Virginia Giuffre — one of the most well-known accusers of Jeffrey Epstein — was reportedly a strong supporter of former President Donald Trump, largely because he vowed to release the long-sealed Epstein files.

Giuffre died by suicide in April at age 41. Before her death, she completed a memoir about her alleged abuse at the hands of Epstein, Ghislaine Maxwell, and Prince Andrew. Her book, Nobody’s Girl: A Memoir of Surviving Abuse and Fighting for Justice, will be released on Tuesday, Oct. 21.

Giuffre’s ghostwriter, Amy Wallace, spoke with CBS Sunday Morning correspondent Tracy Smith about the memoir and Giuffre’s admiration for Trump, who was once a friend of Epstein.

“She was a huge Trump fan, because he campaigned on releasing the Epstein files,” Wallace said during the interview, which aired Oct. 19. “She was very excited that he had made that one of the main planks of his campaign, and she felt validated by it.”

Giuffre never accused Trump of any wrongdoing and told Wallace the future president was “kind to her” when they met at his Mar-a-Lago estate in Florida. Giuffre’s father worked in maintenance at the resort, and she later took a job at the Mar-a-Lago spa — where Maxwell recruited her to work for Epstein, who allegedly trafficked her to his wealthy associates.

When asked whether Giuffre ever implicated Trump, Wallace replied, “She never talked about him in any sense that he was involved in any of this. As far as she knew… he was not involved in the ring of trafficking that Epstein was working.”

Despite campaign promises, Trump’s administration ultimately withheld the full release of the Department of Justice’s Epstein files. On July 14, Republican members of the U.S. House Rules Committee voted down a proposal to allow Congress to vote on whether the files should be made public. The next day, a separate House vote narrowly upheld keeping the documents sealed, with Republicans blocking their release 211–210.

The DOJ’s list of evidence reportedly includes photos, cameras, computers, hard drives, and one CD labeled “girl pics nude book 4.”

Attorney General Pam Bondi and FBI Director Kash Patel had pledged to release more details about Epstein’s case after joining the administration earlier this year. However, a joint DOJ-FBI memo released July 7 stated the investigation into Epstein’s crimes and death was complete — and that no so-called “client list” existed.

That decision has caused a rift within the MAGA movement, where many supporters saw the Epstein files as central to Trump’s reelection platform.

Another Epstein accuser, Chauntae Davies, spoke at a Sept. 3 press conference on Capitol Hill, calling for full transparency. “Epstein surrounded himself with the most powerful leaders of our country and the world,” she said. “He bragged about his powerful friends, including our current president, Donald Trump. It was his biggest brag, actually.”

The fallout has continued to affect Epstein’s associates. On Friday, Oct. 17, Prince Andrew announced he was relinquishing his remaining royal titles following years of scrutiny over his relationship with Epstein and Giuffre’s accusations.

In his statement, Andrew said he made the decision “in discussion with The King and my immediate and wider family,” adding that he aimed to avoid distracting from the royal family’s work. “I vigorously deny the accusations against me,” he said.

Following Andrew’s announcement, Giuffre’s family — Sky and Amanda Roberts and Danny and Lanette Wilson — released their own statement.

“We, the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, believe that Prince Andrew’s decision to give up his titles is vindication for our sister and survivors everywhere,” they said. “This decisive action is a powerful step forward in our fight to bring Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell’s child s*x-trafficking network to justice.”
