Giuffre had become the most visible of Epstein’s accusers in recent years, with her reported suicide coming just a month after she was struck by a bus.

Jeffrey Epstein accuser Virginia Giuffre died by suicide Friday, her family has reportedly announced, according to NBC News. She was 41-years-old.

Giuffre had become the most visible of Epstein’s accusers in recent years. She was hit by a bus in March and suffered injuries that apparently left her in critical condition, though the New York Post stated that police described the accident as a “minor collision.”

Giuffre posted on Instagram not long after the incident that medical staff had given her “four days to live.” Paradoxically, she was released from the hospital on April 7. She reportedly passed away in Neergabby, Australia, where she had been living. Her cause of death is not known.

In 2019, Giuffre published a statement on X that declared, “in no way, shape or form am I suicidal … too many evil people want to see me quieted,” leaving many on social media to speculate that foul play was involved with her death. Though some have argued that the abuse she apparently suffered at the hands of her husband, her recent injuries and media attacks took such a toll on her that she likely did take her own life.

Giuffre has long-maintained that Epstein and his then-girlfriend Ghislaine Maxwell, who is currently behind bars, coerced her and others into performing illicit acts with prominent figures, including the U.K.’s Prince Andrew. Giuffre filed a lawsuit against Andrew that claimed he had abused her while she was still a minor. The case was settled out of court for $12 million.

In a disturbing development, Lady Victoria Hervey, who has dated Prince Andrew, took to Instagram to seemingly celebrate Giuffre’s suffering. Attached to a photo of a bruised Giuffre during her visit to the hospital, Hervey added the words “karma” and “what goes around comes around.”

Epstein was reportedly an Israeli intelligence asset. For decades he would fly high-profile Western politicians and prominent figures like former U.S. President Bill Clinton to his private compound in the U.S. Virgin Islands. He also had other luxurious properties as well. His New York penthouse included a painting of Clinton in a purple dress. It was at his island where he would allegedly record his guests in compromising situations to blackmail them for political favors.

The “Epstein files” were partially released by the Trump administration earlier this year. They were supposed to have included the names and details of Epstein’s many schemes. Conservatives have ridiculed the files for lacking transparency. Some have suggested that Trump himself along with other public persons are implicated in them, including Epstein’s former lawyer Alan Dershowitz, which would explain why they were not fully released.

GOP Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna took to X to express sympathy for Giuffre’s family.

Giuffre was born in 1983. She had a troubled youth, eventually finding work at Trump’s Mar-a-Lago country club. She was first approached by Maxwell in the year 2000. Epstein reportedly died by suicide in his New York jail cell in 2019 while Maxwell is currently serving 20 years in prion on federal sex-trafficking charges.

Big Pharma company Regeneron buys 23andMe, set to acquire genetic data of millions

Regeneron said it will act ethically when it acquires data on 15 million Americans from 23andMe.

A Big Pharma company will acquire genetic data on 15 million people after purchasing DNA testing company 23andMe in a bankruptcy auction.

“Drugmaker Regeneron Pharmaceuticals will buy genetic testing firm 23andMe for $256 million through a bankruptcy auction,” CNN reported.

“Regeneron said it will comply with 23andMe’s privacy policies and applicable laws with respect to the use of customer data and that it is ready to detail its intended use of the data to a court-appointed overseer,” the news outlet reported.

23andMe already suffered a privacy breach of its sensitive genetic information.

While Regeneron said it will protect data, many people may still have concerns.

Users wishing to delete their genetic data can do so, according to California Attorney General Rob Bonta, who issued a “consumer alert” when 23andMe first filed for bankruptcy in March. He explained how people can log into their account and delete their data.

Trump issues ultimatum to Apple: Build iPhones in U.S.

Published on May 23, 2025

Quick Hit:

President Trump on Friday threatened Apple with a 25% tariff if iPhones sold in the U.S. are not manufactured domestically. In a post to Truth Social, Trump said Apple must stop producing iPhones in India or China and bring manufacturing back to the United States.

Key Details:

  • In a Truth Social post, Trump wrote: “I expect their iPhone’s that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else. If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S.”

  • Apple’s stock reportedly dropped around 3% in premarket trading following Trump’s announcement.

  • Trump’s demand follows a broader push to penalize companies that manufacture overseas. He also floated a 50% tariff on European Union imports.

Diving Deeper:

President Donald Trump on Friday issued a fresh warning to Apple, demanding the tech giant bring iPhone manufacturing back to the United States or face a stiff tariff. In a Truth Social post, Trump directly addressed Apple CEO Tim Cook, declaring that iPhones sold in the U.S. must no longer be produced in India or any other country abroad.

“I have long ago informed Tim Cook of Apple that I expect their iPhone’s that will be sold in the United States of America will be manufactured and built in the United States, not India, or anyplace else,” Trump wrote. “If that is not the case, a Tariff of at least 25% must be paid by Apple to the U.S.”

The statement rattled markets early Friday, with Apple shares falling about 3% in premarket trading.

While Apple has historically relied on China for the bulk of its iPhone production, it has recently begun shifting some operations to India—moves largely aimed at diversifying its supply chain amid ongoing geopolitical tensions and pandemic-era disruptions. Trump’s post signals that even this shift away from China may not be sufficient to satisfy his America-first trade vision.

According to a recent Politico report, Trump and Cook met Tuesday at the White House. Though Cook has made overtures toward Trump in the past—including attending his inauguration and pledging a $1 million donation—Apple has continued its offshore production strategy, frustrating Trump’s push for domestic job creation.

Despite this, Apple has committed to a $500 billion investment in the U.S., including development of AI server infrastructure in Houston, Texas. Whether that’s enough to blunt Trump’s tariff threat remains to be seen.

In a separate post Friday, Trump also advocated for a sweeping 50% tariff on goods imported from the European Union, signaling a renewed appetite for aggressive trade measures should he return to office.
