Epstein survivors accused Melania Trump of 'shifting the burden' after surprise statement.
Melania Trump has been accused of “shifting the burden” onto sex offender Jeffrey Epstein’s survivors after her extraordinary statement at the White House.
In a joint statement released to the media, a group of survivors said the first lady had moved to “protect those in power”.
They accused her of “shifting the burden onto survivors under politicized conditions to protect those with power”.
The statement read:
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein have already shown extraordinary courage by coming forward, filing reports, and giving testimony. Asking more of them now is a deflection of responsibility, not justice.
