YouTube Description

as posted by the channel

First Lady Melania Trump's rare public statement last week caught many, including survivors, off guard. Mrs. Trump denied close personal ties with Jeffrey Epstein and called on Congress to hold hearings for survivors to tell their stories. Marina Lacerda, who was listed as "Minor Victim-1" in the Epstein federal indictment, shares with Alex Witt why survivors feel that's a "deflection of responsibility" and not justice.
