Virginia Giuffre's Family Criticizes DOJ Over Epstein Files Release; Other News Developments Emerge
The family of Virginia Giuffre, a prominent accuser of Jeffrey Epstein, expressed outrage over the Justice Department's handling of the recent release of Epstein-related documents. Meanwhile, in Alabama, a man faces execution despite not being the one who fired the fatal shot in a 1991 robbery, and in Arizona, police are investigating the disappearance of Savannah Guthrie's mother as a possible abduction. In political news, a liberal commentator defended Jasmine Crockett's Senate bid, and a journalist reported being attacked while covering an anti-ICE blockade in Minneapolis.
Sky Roberts, Giuffre's brother, and Amanda Roberts, her sister-in-law, criticized the DOJ for allegedly failing to protect survivors of Epstein's abuse by releasing unredacted documents. "I mean these are intimate details in these documents that their family members are going to see, their kids are going to see, and to unredact their names is incredibly insensitive and retraumatizing," Sky Roberts said in an interview with "CBS Mornings" on Tuesday. He also expressed concern that the DOJ is putting women at risk by publicizing their names.
In Alabama, Charles "Sonny" Burton, 75, faces execution for his role as an accomplice in a 1991 robbery at an auto parts store where customer Doug Battle was killed, according to CBS News. While Burton was involved in the robbery, another man, Derrick DeBruce, shot and killed Battle. Burton was outside the store at the time of the shooting, according to testimony. Both DeBruce and Burton were initially sentenced to death, but DeBruce's sentence was later reduced to life imprisonment, leaving Burton, who did not fire the gun or order the killing, as the only one facing execution.
In Arizona, investigations continued Tuesday into the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, the mother of "Today" show host Savannah Guthrie. The Pima County Sheriff's Department reported that Nancy Guthrie was last seen in the Catalina Foothills area on Saturday night and was reported missing on Sunday around noon local time. Authorities believe she was abducted from her home in her sleep early Sunday morning. "She did not leave on her own, we know that," police said on Monday, according to ABC News. DNA samples collected from the home were confirmed to belong to Nancy Guthrie.
Turning to politics, Fox News reported that liberal commentator Roland Martin defended Rep. Jasmine Crockett, D-Texas, against criticism from White progressives regarding her Senate bid against fellow Democrat James Talarico. During Tuesday's episode of "At Our Table with Jamie Harrison," Martin said that White progressives criticizing Crockett "need to sit their a-- down."
Finally, journalist Jorge Ventura reported being attacked while covering an anti-ICE blockade in Minneapolis. Ventura, from The Daily Caller News Foundation, told "The Ingraham Angle" that agitators confronted him, attempted to seize his phone, and assaulted him, leaving his hand bleeding. "They do this, Laura, because they want to deter journalists like myself who actually show the truth of what's going on on the ground," Ventura said, adding that he would not be deterred.
