GAI President and bestselling investigative reporter Peter Schweizer recently reacted to the tragic death of Virginia Giuffre — the most powerful witness left in the Jeffrey Epstein case.
Giuffre died by suicide over the weekend, making her the third person allegedly abused by the billionaire to die. She died in Neergabby, Australia, where she had been living.
Schweizer says that renewed calls for transparency need to be made in the wake of Giuffre’s death.
“She certainly had a lot of information that would be invaluable. Those people would want to keep it quiet. I’m sure they’re investigating it. I don’t know what the indications are, whether it was, in fact, suicide or something else afoot,” Schweizer told podcast host Stephen Gardner.
Schweizer continues: “I think it goes to the root of the problem: the way they’ve handled—or not handled—the entire Epstein episode, which is transparency, transparency, transparency. I’m not quite sure why the current Attorney General, Pam Bondi, has not been more aggressive on this. She claimed to be releasing records, but they were already out there.”
Schweizer says a few key things must happen to move the case forward.
“What needs to be done is to bring forward internal documents obtained from Epstein’s island and office raids. There also seem to be videotapes involving prominent people engaged in activities,
supposedly with underage minors,” Schweizer says. “What needs to be done is to bring forward internal documents obtained from Epstein’s island and office raids. There also seem to be videotapes involving prominent people engaged in activities, supposedly with underage minors.”
“The fact that he had the clients he had is, in my mind, the only reason we haven’t had more transparency. The passing of Virginia Giuffre is another tragedy in the many that Epstein caused,” Schweizer says.
Giuffre, 41, died in Neergabby, Australia, where she had been living.
“It is with utterly broken hearts that we announce that Virginia passed away last night at her farm in Western Australia. She lost her life to suicide, after being a lifelong victim of sexual abuse and sex trafficking,” Giuffre’s family told Fox News. “Virginia was a fierce warrior in the fight against sexual abuse and sex trafficking. She was the light that lifted so many survivors. Despite all the adversity she faced in her life, she shone so bright. She will be missed beyond measure.”
