Victim in Epstein case decries 'political warfare' in effort to release grand jury transcripts

(CNN) Two victims of Jeffrey Epstein’s abuse have filed letters to the court condemning the Justice Department’s request to unseal grand jury testimony and cited the lack of respect they feel has been showed toward them by President Donald Trump and his administration.

Both of the victims remained anonymous in their writings sent on Monday, with one calling the latest handling of the so-called Epstein Files “political warfare.”

“Dear United States, I wish you would have handled and would handle the whole ‘Epstein Files’ with more respect towards and for the victims. I am not some pawn in your political warfare. What you have done and continue to do is eating at me day after day as you help to perpetuate this story indefinitely,” one of the victims wrote.
