In this On-Target short video, Steven Beschloss and I urge people not to view the Jeffrey Epstein scandal as purely a political story but to keep the victims front and center. A recent New York Times story (gift link) focused on Maria Farmer, who told the police and the FBI about Epstein’s abuse and urged them to investigate his circle – including Donald Trump. Then there’s Virginia Giuffre, who was recruited by Epstein’s girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell while the 17-year-old was working at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago spa. Trump said Epstein “stole” her from him, as if Trump considered her to be property. Also, we discuss why a Maxwell pardon would be a huge outrage.
