3. Survivor Advocacy & "Virginia’s Law"

• Interview with Amanda and Sky Roberts:
  • The family honors Virginia Roberts Giuffre, who passed away nearly a year ago, for her lifelong efforts to enable survivors to fight legal barriers, specifically statutes of limitations.

  • They express bittersweet pride as "Virginia’s Law" is introduced, extending the time survivors have to seek justice.
  • The butterfly, Virginia’s favorite symbol, is embraced as an emblem of survivor transformation and remembrance.

4. Critique of Government Transparency & Support

• Pam Bondi and Release of Files:
  • Survivors demand answers on who approved unredacting victim names while keeping alleged perpetrators' names hidden.

• Survivors and the Public Refuse to "Move On":

  • Clear rejection of the White House's message from both advocates and the public.

    "Well, we're not moving on... I don't think this is going anywhere. And quite frankly, the only person that we want to be moving on from if you won't do your job is you." —Sky Roberts [12:27]

  • The release of files provides hard evidence vindicating controversial claims made by Virginia Giuffre, particularly the authenticity of the photo with Prince Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell.

[Podcast Host / Interviewer]

We have some significant news this evening. The White House is desperately asking the American public to move on from the Epstein files just 24 hours before 1 of the most critical hearings that you will see in all of 2026 as Attorney General Pam Bondi is set to testify on Capitol Hill tomorrow. Survivors are demanding justice. Survivors are demanding accountability. And, well, the White House is saying it's time to move on. We're moving on. But here's the thing. We're not moving on. We're not moving on because we're just getting started to ensure justice and accountability for the survivors. It comes as Ro Khanna has exposed the names of six men associated with Jeffrey Epstein on the House floor. He is naming names. This evening. I spoke with the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, one of those prominent Epstein survivors, about how they are feeling in this moment about Virginia story and about a critical new law that they helped usher through Virginia's law. That is so important. Make sure to like, comment, share and subscribe. Everyone's going to need to see that interview before we do. If you can support my work, subscribe to my substack, click the link below. Let's just jump right in and talk about where the White House is at with the Epstein files because the White House press secretary, Caroline Levitt is essentially saying we're moving on from the files. Take a listen to what she had to say today from the podium.

[Amanda Roberts]

And that remains true in this call.

[Commercial Announcer]

If it did happen, corroborates exactly what.

[Amanda Roberts]

President Trump has said from the beginning. And I'm sure many of you, when you read that, that alleged FBI report, probably thought to yourself, wow, this really cracks our narrative that we've been trying to push about this president for many years. So we're moving on from that Reagan.

[Podcast Host / Interviewer]

We're moving on from the narrative that Donald Trump could be associated with the Epstein files. That's what the White House is saying this evening after Jamie Raskin, a member of Congress, said that there were a million mentions of Donald Trump's name in the Epstein files. In a new interview in the unredacted Epstein files. In an interview he had today with Congressman Sorry with Axios. Now, tomorrow is a critical day for the Epstein survivors and they are demanding that Pam Bondi answer 15 specific questions about the release of the files from who approved the documents that expose survivors names and identifying information to whether or not Pam Bondi would sit down with the meeting with survivors and survivor advocates before any future public release. There are a lot of questions that the survivors are demanding answers for. And it comes as Congressman Ro Khanna exposed six names of men associated with Jeffrey Epstein. Read their names on the House floor today. Take a listen to Congressman Khanna.

[Congressman Ro Khanna]

Congressman Massie and I went to the Department of Justice to read the unredacted Epstein files. We spent about two hours there, and we learned that 70 to 80% of the files are still redacted. In fact, there were six wealthy, powerful men that the DOJ hid for no apparent reason. When Congressman Massie and I pointed this out to the Department of Justice, they acknowledged their mistake. And now they have revealed the identity of these six powerful men. These men are Salvatore Navora, Zorab Michalades, Lupig Leonor Nicola Caputa, Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayam, CEO of Dubai Ports World, and billionaire businessman Leslie Wexner.

[Podcast Host / Interviewer]

So he names six men. Right there, folks, the cracks are emerging. The cracks really are emerging here. That is the prevailing narrative, and it's growing. And while the White House wants everyone to just move on, we're not stopping because we're not stopping until the survivors get justice and accountability. And that's why this evening I spoke with the family of Virginia Giuffre, Amanda and Sky Roberts. It's an interview that I want the world to see. Make sure to, like, comment, share and subscribe. Here is my interview with Virginia's family. Super excited and honored to be joined by the family of Virginia Roberts Giuffre, sky and Amanda Roberts. Great to be with you again. It's been a few months since we last spoke. A whole lot has changed. Millions of files have been released. But today, in my opinion, something that more people should be talking about, Virginia's law was introduced. Tell us more about that.

[Amanda Roberts]

I don't think we can talk about it without getting emotional. You know, it's been such a long journey. It's almost been a year since her passing. And there's been so much pain and work and grief and a lot of chaos in this last year. But today was a day, a good day. We got to see actual work like, come to fruition. And to stand there today and be able to call it Virginia's law. The statue of limitations was one of Virginia's goals. It was a barrier not only for her, but every single survivor. And she wanted so badly to conquer that beast. And so to be able to kind of announce it as a bill today and then it being named after her, it was so bittersweet. Like, there's so many times where I'm just like, girl, like, you should be here seeing this. Like, you just. You're just blowing us away, even still. And so it was bittersweet. It was an honor to stand there for her and have a few of her Survivor sisters supporting us. And, you know, to stand with Chuck Schumer and Teresa Fernandez, it's just like, what's happening, you know? But it was a. It was a good day.

[Podcast Host / Interviewer]

I see the butterfly pins on your shirts. Could you tell us more about the meaning behind the butterfly?

[Sky Roberts]

Absolutely. It's really.

[Amanda Roberts]

It's.

[Sky Roberts]

It's big. It's actually started to become sort of a survivor representation. So the butterfly was. Was the. I mean, first and foremost, Virginia loved the butterfly. I mean, that was like her representation of a survivor and how it goes through so many transitions. Right. You start out as a VICT victim, which would be a lot like the caterpillar and what a butterfly goes through or a caterpillar goes through to transition into a butterfly, this beautiful, just free, you know, creature. And that is just such a strong represent representation of a survivor. And it was also. It was also the logo for Soar. Soar was her nonprofit. That's really what Amanda and I continue to advocate for. We're hoping that we can get Soar off the ground here in the next. Hopefully within this year. And truth be told, that's where we want to do our advocacy. We want to do so much more with legislation. I think that we're seeing that come to fruition. And, you know, the butterfly is also a piece of her with us. Every time that you see us wearing these or you see a survivor wearing these, you know, it's a piece of Virginia that is with us that day. It makes us feel like she's here. And, you know, I said it today. I really hope she was looking through my eyes and seeing the impact that she's making. But this always makes me feel like there's a small piece of her with me at all times.

[Podcast Host / Interviewer]

I think that's amazing. I do got to ask you, tomorrow is obviously a very big day for you all as well. Attorney General Bondi will be testifying on Capitol Hill. You all along with Virginia survivor sisters released a lengthy statement. 15 questions you want the Attorney General to answer. How are you feeling through this entire process? Because to me, and from what I've seen, it really just seems like a effort to re traumatize the survivors over and over again.

[Amanda Roberts]

Yeah, I think that that's such a great point. I think it's hard not to feel that way. A lot of the things, the way that they have so blatantly been done wrong and you know, the unredaction of their survivors names and then the redaction of, of the potential perpetrators, it does feel intentional. It does feel like this could be potentially trying to exhaust us. Right. Trying to overstimulate us. To say like, okay, this is too much, we need to move on. Like this is too much for us to deal with. And I think it's very important for the American public to see that, to understand that these files, they're very hard to process, they're very traumatic. But it's important that we bear witness to their testimony and it's important that we continue to hold our government accountable because that is exactly what they want. They want to desensitize us, they want to over stimulate us and exhaust us. So it's important to stay grounded in this moment and continue to uncover the facts and continue to hold our government accountable and support survivors. Give them the strength to go through this because this is extremely traumatizing for them. And so we have to offer that support.

[Podcast Host / Interviewer]

If you had the ability, either of you to sit down with Attorney General Bondi today, tomorrow after the hearing, what would you want to tell her? What would you want her to know?

[Sky Roberts]

I mean, first and foremost, Aaron, there, here's the thing, like it's, there's no doubt that they're breaking the law right now, right? I mean they haven't released all the files per the Epstein Files Transparency Act. They're trying to find loopholes. So there's clearly something going on there. And so I would want to know, I'd want to know what are you protecting? Why are we protecting pedophiles? I mean, it's very clear. I mean I've seen so many of your posts and you know, it's, they're very powerful because you can see that the names of the potential perpetrators, I'm not saying you're guilty. Evidence doesn't look so good. It definitely says otherwise, but they're redacted. You can't see their names, you can't See who that individual might be so that we can ask them the hard questions. Why is our own Attorney General of the United States of America not asking the hard questions? Why are they, why are they redacting the names of, of perpetrators, potential perpetrators, and why are they unredacting the names of victims? We need a better answer than just, well, we're complying. And President Trump is the only one that was going to release the files and the other administration didn't do it. We don't care about all that stuff. That's the, that's the truth. What we care about is justice for the survivors and acknowledgment for them and a form of, you know, whether it's social justice or whether we get these guys behind bars, which is really what we should be doing. We either or we need our Attorney General to do her job. And I need better answers than what she's providing.

[Podcast Host / Interviewer]

Has either she or anyone at the White House offered to sit down with you all?

[Amanda Roberts]

No, not with us particularly. And there was maybe attempt where she had attempted to reach out, like the day before the files were being released and said that she was going to follow up with us. That never happened. So this idea that there has been this open line communication between all survivors and that everyone has had an opportunity to come forward and speak to them, that's not true. And so again, it's this feeling of, you know, they're saying these things, they get this, they want transparency, but that's not what we're actually seeing from them.

[Podcast Host / Interviewer]

Now, I don't know if you saw this, but today Caroline Levitt, the White House Press Secretary, essentially said, the White House, we're moving on from the Epstein files. That's what she said from the podium today. What's your response hearing that.

[Sky Roberts]

Well, we're not moving on.

[Amanda Roberts]

Right.

[Sky Roberts]

And I know that the public, and I have to, at least based off of what I've seen out there, is that I don't think the, I don't think the US Is ready to move on publicly. I don't think the UK is ready to move on. I don't think other countries are ready to move on. I can tell you how much outreach we get every single day. And I don't think this is going anywhere. And quite frankly, frankly, the only person that we want to be moving on from if you won't do your job is you.

[Podcast Host / Interviewer]

I. Before I let you go, I do just want to highlight one part of the files which you all spoke about as well earlier this week, and that's that Virginia's story was vindicated. The famous photo of her and Andrew and Ghislaine Maxwell that people have said she was lying about for years. Well, she was telling the truth, and we. We knew that, but the files prove that. What was your reaction to seeing that file in that moment?

[Amanda Roberts]

I think I laughed. I think I laughed. I, you know, because Virginia is a very cheeky person. And, you know, in that moment, I would have called her and we would have just laughed and, like, celebrated together. And she probably would have said some things that we can't say on air. And, you know, we would have been like, yeah, you're getting them, you're catching them. And it always reminds me of this quote that she said in her famous interview. And she always says it like, he knows what happened, I know what happened, and only one of us is telling the truth, and I know that's me. And everything that she's gone through, the amount of depositions that she's gone through, her story has been so consistent every single time, where as everyone else and all of these, you know, perpetrators, potential perpetrators, their story's always changing. Oh, you know, maybe it was a fake or, you know, I was sweating at that time, so I couldn't have danced with her. I couldn't have sweat. It just, you know, it's just so, like, outlandish. And so I think, again, the vindication of her being that truth teller, it's just so beautiful to see. And like, we wish that she was here to see that. And I know that she is in her own way.

[Podcast Host / Interviewer]

She definitely is. And I. And I do want to say this on behalf of everyone who watches this. I receive so many messages all the time who just want to tell you all, she would be proud of the advocacy that you all are doing. It is so important and just truly, thank you for continuing to push her voice and the voice of all survivors.

[Amanda Roberts]

Thank you. I think without people like you and without the general public standing up for her and believing her and giving that support, we wouldn't be here either. So thank you.
