EPSTEIN FILES UPDATE. JUDICIAL WATCH AND REP. LUNA MOVING FORWARD

Giuffre was one of the earliest and loudest voices calling for criminal charges against Epstein and his enablers. Other Epstein abuse survivors later credited her with giving them the courage to speak out.

In 2015, Giuffre, who held U.S. citizenship at birth, was among the first Epstein victims to go public. She was recruited by Ghislaine Maxwell. Giuffre reported years of sexual abuse and alleged she was trafficked to prominent individuals, including Prince Andrew of the United Kingdom. She filed a civil lawsuit against Prince Andrew, which was settled out of court in 2022 for an estimated £12 million (approximately $15 million).

Earlier this week, in our FOIA lawsuit for records regarding Epstein, the Justice Department confirmed to a federal court that it and the FBI continue to search for and review records for potential disclosure (Judicial Watch Inc. v. U.S. Department of Justice (No. 1:25-cv-01056)).
