“If there is no credible evidence of trafficking, then why do you worry that there are men in these files that could be harmed?”

“If that’s true, then there are no men that will be harmed by releasing the files,” she said. “There are no other people that will be harmed if [Epstein] just trafficked women to himself, as is the claim.”

She noted that Virginia Giuffre, an Epstein victim who killed herself several months ago, was “very clear in that she had been trafficked to other men”. Michaels said that authorities are “completely ignoring” victim statements about Epstein’s trafficking.
