WASHINGTON, D.C. Today, Representatives Jamie Raskin (MD-08) and Suhas Subramanyam (VA-10) announced Sky and Amanda Roberts as their guests to President Donald Trumps February 24 State of the Union Address. Sky and Amanda are the brother and sister-in-law, respectively, of the late Virginia Roberts Giuffre, a survivor of Jeffrey Epsteins international trafficking ring. Ms. Roberts Giuffre was instrumental in bringing Epsteins crimes to light and inspiring fellow survivors to speak out.
Sky and Amanda Roberts will watch from the gallery above the House Floor as the president delivers his speech.
Virginia Roberts Giuffre bravely pursued justice for the victims and accountability for the perpetrators of the horrific crimes committed against girls and young women by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, and other upper-class abusers who took part in the pairs vicious trafficking ring, said Rep. Raskin. Im grateful Sky and Amanda Roberts accepted our offer to honor Virginias memory and lead a chorus of voices from across America and the world demanding truth and justice, the opposite of what Donald Trump and Pam Bondi have been working for in their shocking coverup.
