Story highlights

Why is an Epstein survivor now directly challenging the Trumps? Juliette Bryant hit back at Melania Trump, saying victims have already testified—and now it’s time for her and Donald Trump to do the same. Watch video HERE

Juliette Bryant, a Jeffrey Epstein survivor, has hit out at US First Lady Melania Trump over her recent statement denying all ties to the sexual offender and paedophile. Slamming Melania's demand for survivors to testify under oath, Bryant, in a fiery video she posted on X, said "MANY VICTIMS WHO TESTIFIED HAVE DIED," as she called on the FLOTUS and her husband, US President Donald Trump, to testify instead. "IT’S YOUR TURN TO TESTIFY NOW…" she said. In her statement, Melania denied ever having a relationship with Epstein or his associate Ghislaine Maxwell, disputed reports that Epstein had introduced her to Trump, called out what she described as fabricated images circulating on social media, and urged Congress to hold public hearings where Epstein's victims could testify under oath. "The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today," she said.

Virginia Giuffre, one of the most prominent Epstein survivors, died in April 2025, purportedly by suicide. Notably, in 2019, Guiffre in a statement on Twitter (now X), explicitly declared that she was "in no way, shape or form" suicidal. She said so while responding to a user's claim that the FBI might target her to protect well-connected figures.

Another Epstein survivor, Carolyn Andriano, whose testimony proved crucial during the 2021 trial of Epstein's associate Ghislaine Maxwell, died in May 2023 in a Florida hotel. Her death was ruled an accidental drug overdose.
