In a gut-wrenching moment on MS Now, Sky Roberts—the brother of the late Virginia Giuffre, Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent and courageous accuser—delivered a searing accusation against the Department of Justice, declaring the partial, heavily redacted files release a deliberate attempt to gaslight survivors.
Appearing alongside his wife Amanda just hours after the December 19 dump, Roberts described a torrent of mixed emotions: pride for fellow victims finally seeing some validation, yet deep disappointment as the DOJ withheld thousands of pages and blacked out critical details, delivering what he estimated as barely 10% of the full truth mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act signed by President Trump.
Roberts accused Attorney General Pam Bondi of continuing to manipulate and betray those seeking justice. As bipartisan lawmakers threaten legal action and survivors reel from renewed pain, the outrage intensifies: Will the hidden files ever surface, or is the cover-up just beginning?
In a gut-wrenching moment on MS Now with host Jen Psaki, Sky Roberts—the brother of the late Virginia Giuffre, Jeffrey Epstein’s most prominent and courageous accuser—delivered a searing accusation against the Department of Justice. Appearing alongside his wife Amanda just hours after the DOJ’s December 19, 2025, document dump, Roberts declared the partial, heavily redacted release a deliberate attempt to gaslight survivors.
Roberts described a torrent of mixed emotions sweeping through the survivor community: pride and joy for fellow victims finally seeing some validation in the released photographs and records acknowledging Epstein’s crimes, yet deep disappointment and betrayal as the DOJ withheld thousands of pages and blacked out critical details. He estimated the initial tranche represented barely 10% of the full disclosure mandated by the Epstein Files Transparency Act, signed into law 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, his voice heavy with frustration. “We hoped that they would do the right thing, but we expected for them to not.” Giuffre, who died by suicide in April 2025 after years of fearlessly exposing Epstein’s trafficking network, would have been heartbroken by this latest setback, her brother implied.
The bipartisan Epstein Files Transparency Act, co-authored by Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY), required the DOJ to release all unclassified records—including investigative files, flight logs, witness interviews, and memos on Epstein’s 2008 plea deal—in a searchable format by December 19. Instead, the “first phase” included thousands of pages, many previously public, with hundreds of photographs showing Epstein with figures like Bill Clinton, Michael Jackson, and Mick Jagger. Vast sections were redacted, and key documents—like a 2007 draft 60-count indictment potentially naming accomplices—remained missing.
Roberts accused Attorney General Pam Bondi of continuing to manipulate and betray those seeking justice, prioritizing protection for the powerful over accountability for victims. His words echoed growing bipartisan outrage on Capitol Hill. Khanna and Massie blasted the release as non-compliant, with Khanna announcing they are drafting impeachment articles against Bondi and exploring contempt proceedings. Massie warned she risks future obstruction charges.
As threats of legal action mount—from subpoenas to hearings—and survivors reel from renewed pain, the outrage intensifies: Will the hidden files ever surface, or is the cover-up just beginning? For families like the Roberts, still grieving Giuffre’s loss while fighting her battle, this partial disclosure feels like another cruel delay in a decades-long pursuit of truth.
