Trump’s slow disclosure on Virginia Giuffre
The name of the game in crisis communications is generally to get anything potentially bad out as soon as possible.
That is decidedly not the approach Trump took to Virginia Giuffre.
Giuffre, who died by suicide earlier this year, is perhaps Epstein’s most well-known victim. She’s also the most significant nexus between Epstein’s victims and Trump. That’s because she testified that Maxwell recruited her while she worked as a minor at Mar-a-Lago.
Trump ultimately acknowledged last month that he was aware in real time that Maxwell had recruited Giuffre from his property; he even suggested it was a source of his and Epstein’s falling out decades ago.
But that admission didn’t come before he spent days – years, really – falling short of full disclosure.
