Hi there, everyone. It's 4 o'clock in the East. It is contemptible. Yes, despicable. You bet.

Shameful, immoral, reprehensible, wrong. Check, check, check, and check. But while there are

a thousand ways to describe the Trump administration's approach to handling

the Jeffrey Epstein crisis today, the one we'll start off with this afternoon is instructive

because one can learn a lot about the totally upside down and backward dynamic of the

ongoing spiraling debacle and crisis simply by observing who Team Trump is taking

great care to accommodate who they're treating with care and public displays of respect and courtesy.

That group evidently does not include the most essential humans, the most essential figures of the entire saga,

the victims of Jeffrey Epstein and his longtime girlfriend and accomplice, Galane Maxwell.

Responding to reports today that the Epstein Matter will be among the topics of discussion

at a strategy session tonight that features

VP J.D. Vance, Chief of Staff, Susie Wiles, A.G. Pam Bondi and her deputy, Todd Blanche.

The family of Virginia DeFray released a statement that reads in part, quote,

missing from this group is, of course,

any survivor of the vicious crimes

of convicted perjurer and sex trafficker

Glane, Galeigh Maxwell and Jeffrey Epstein.

Their voices must be heard above all.

We also call upon the House subcommittee

to invite survivors to testify.

As Virginia Roberts-Jefray's siblings, we offer to represent her in her stead,

and we hope the administration takes our call to action seriously.
