Michael Cohen - Say Her Name: Virginia Giuffre Deserved Better

There are stories that fade with time. Headlines that scream for a day, maybe two, before being swallowed whole by the next scandal, the next distraction, the next excuse to move on. But the Epstein scandal—no, the Epstein crimes—refuse to be buried. And they shouldn’t be. Because the truth has a heartbeat.

Her name was Virginia Giuffre.

She was more than a headline. More than a witness. More than a plaintiff. She was a daughter. A sister. A mother. A survivor. And now, she’s gone. Dead by suicide. And her family—the people who knew her best, who saw what this did to her, who fought beside her—are left behind, saying the quiet part out loud: “It’s time for these monsters to be exposed.” Damn right it is.

Because this isn’t just about Jeffrey Epstein—the predator who died before he could be held accountable. This is about the machine that protected him. Enabled him. Benefited from his power and stayed silent while underage girls were trafficked, branded as liars, and told their pain was inconvenient. And it’s about the Department of Justice—the very institution tasked with defending the vulnerable—that somehow found the will to give Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted trafficker, a microphone. A platform. A voice.
