MSNBC host Nicolle Wallace started her Tuesday show with new revelations that President Donald Trump said Jeffrey Epstein “stole” young spa workers from his Mar-a-Lago beach club.
Trump described Epstein poaching spa staff members from Mar-a-Lago, including Virginia Giuffre. Trump made the statement Tuesday to the press aboard Air Force One.
“Yeah, he stole her,” Trump said of Epstein and Giuffre.
After playing the clip, Wallace closed her eyes, shaking her head.
“What year is this?!” she asked. “What are we talking about? Trump is talking in that sound you just listened to about a victim named Virginia Giuffre. She’s one of Jeffrey Epstein’s better-known victims. We know a lot about her as a victim. She died by suicide this April. In the midst of all this, Trump is trying to refocus attention on Jeffrey Epstein’s accomplice and long-time girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, whose attorney has made clear that she would like a pardon or commutation. For what? It’s not clear.”
As Wallace stated, today Maxwell’s lawyer said she would only testify to Congress under immunity.
Meanwhile, conservative media is working to make Maxwell appear as a victim of Epstein, despite allegations that Maxwell recruited the girls for Epstein and, in some cases, sexually abused them before Epstein.
