This needs to be amplified. We need to recognize the ongoing manipulation and victimization of the victims and how these men exerted power and influence to silence them.
To be very clear, Virginia Giuffre was made to say she mistakenly identified Alan Dershowitz as one of the people who sexually abused her. Here is the proof from this week's Epstein files dropped by the House Oversight Committee.
