From years of hopeful anticipation to a wave of raw outrage, Sky Roberts—the brother of the late Virginia Giuffre, Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent and fearless accuser—accused America’s own Justice Department of actively shielding long-buried secrets while gaslighting the public and survivors alike.
In an emotional interview on MS Now just hours after the DOJ’s partial, heavily redacted December 19 files release, Roberts—joined by his wife Amanda—called it a “mixed bag of emotions,” praising validation for victims yet slamming the blacked-out pages and withheld documents as deliberate manipulation, delivering only about 10% of the full truth promised by the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Trump.
Roberts declared the DOJ’s actions under Attorney General Pam Bondi a continuation of betrayal. As bipartisan lawmakers like Reps. Ro Khanna and Thomas Massie threaten impeachment and obstruction charges, survivors demand accountability: Whose secrets are still being protected at the expense of justice?
From years of hopeful anticipation to a wave of raw outrage, Sky Roberts—the brother of the late Virginia Giuffre, Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent and fearless accuser—accused America’s own Justice Department of actively shielding long-buried secrets while gaslighting the public and survivors alike.
In an emotional interview on MS Now with Jen Psaki just hours after the DOJ’s partial, heavily redacted December 19, 2025, files release, Roberts—joined by his wife Amanda—called it a “mixed bag of emotions.” There was pride in seeing some validation for victims after years of pain, yet crushing betrayal as black bars obscured names and details, with thousands of key documents withheld. Roberts estimated the release delivered only about 10% of the full truth promised by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed by President Trump on November 19, 2025.
“It’s kind of disappointing to see that our own Department of Justice is trying to continue to gaslight us,” Roberts said, emphasizing that while survivors hoped for accountability, the incomplete dump felt like deliberate manipulation under Attorney General Pam Bondi. Giuffre, who died by suicide in April 2025 after decades of bravely exposing Epstein’s network, would have seen this as another profound injustice, her brother suggested.
The bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act, co-authored by Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY), mandated the release of all unclassified records—including the 2007 draft 60-count indictment potentially implicating accomplices and memos on Epstein’s 2008 plea deal—by December 19. Instead, the DOJ presented a “first phase” with thousands of pages, many previously public, featuring photos of Epstein with figures like Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Ghislaine Maxwell. Extensive redactions protected over 1,200 potential victims, but lawmakers and survivors argue they went too far, hiding explosive evidence.
Roberts’ accusations amplified bipartisan fury. Khanna and Massie blasted Bondi for non-compliance, announcing they are drafting impeachment articles and exploring contempt proceedings. Massie warned she risks future obstruction charges, while Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer called it a “blatant cover-up.”
As bipartisan lawmakers threaten impeachment and obstruction charges against Bondi, survivors demand accountability: Whose secrets are still being protected at the expense of justice? For families like the Roberts, carrying Giuffre’s legacy, the fight for full, unredacted truth remains far from over.
