Epstein Victims’ Lawyer Slams Trump DOJ’s Handling of Ghislaine Maxwell Case as “Appalling”

Blue Press Journal (NYC) – In a scathing critique, Arick Fudali, an attorney representing seven accusers of convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, has condemned the Trump Department of Justice’s (DOJ) handling of Ghislaine Maxwell’s case as “reeking of suspicion.” Maxwell, a longtime associate of Epstein, has been accused of playing a crucial role in his sex trafficking ring.

Fudali expressed outrage over the “special treatment” being afforded to Maxwell, stating that she should be facing the most severe possible punishment for her alleged crimes. “The fact that she has gotten anything but the most severe possible punishment is an absolute travesty of justice,” he said. “She should be in the maximum security prison where child sex traffickers belong.” Fudali’s comments come as many of Epstein’s victims and their advocates continue to demand justice and transparency in the case.

The attorney also called on the Trump administration to release all files related to the Epstein case, with the names of the victims redacted, to ensure transparency and accountability. “The easiest step for the Trump administration would be to just release the files, redact the names of the victims, release the entire files to the public,” he said. “Anything short of that is suspicious. Anything short of that is not enough.”

Fudali’s criticisms reflect the growing frustration and mistrust among Epstein’s victims and their supporters, who feel that the DOJ’s handling of the case has been inadequate and overly secretive. The Trump administration’s response to the Epstein scandal has been widely criticized, with many accusing the government of prioritizing the interests of the wealthy and powerful over those of the victims.
