Gillen said of this hit: It brought back a lot of bad memories that I had already given up on. After four long years, it was just a stop for my family, who mainly represented them, and for me, and my sister who unfortunately passed away. I was very upset because it was a lie from the beginning. ”

“When he first contacted me, he said he wanted to do a four-year story to commemorate the four-year anniversary of Vanessa's murder,” Khawam said. “We're not talking about Vanessa here, we're just talking about the trouble with Trump.”
Mr. Gillen said he was also misled by Mr. Goldberg and when he learned the content of the work, he didn't want to be involved in the story, but published it anyway.
“Originally, when we first spoke, he wanted to give us a recap of our four-year anniversary and how we passed the bill and all the accomplishments we had accomplished in honor of Vanessa. , certainly said this would be done again,” she said.
“He never mentioned what comments he was going to put in this article or how this article would be published at the end of this year. He said it would be around April. And I… I never saw the article, didn't follow it, and was surprised enough to see how he immediately contacted Natalie about what it was two days ago, I just wanted to confirm what was said, and I released a statement to him saying that I wasn't happy with what he was going to release and that I didn't want to be a part of it anymore, Or told him that I didn't want my sister's name to be a part of that article, which I can't publish, but it basically tarnishes my sister's image and it's very bad. It's upsetting,” she said.
Guillén acknowledged that she voted for Trump in the presidential election and said she had no intention of talking about it but “had to do it” to protect her sister's name.
“That's right. I usually never talk about what my political influence is or what I think about politics, because I wanted this bill to pass. “At first, I worked with both parties, not only for my sister's honor, but also for the good of our military,” she said.
“Right now I feel like I'm inspired to do it. And I'm glad I can talk about this now, because I didn't want to be in the shade anymore and I just didn't want them to do this.” Because I simply didn't want to see how they would take advantage of the situation.'' To make this an election issue, my sister's name should never have been used and she should never have stayed in this direction. And they did. So what I'm going to do is protect her name and myself and my political views and this is my position. ”
“The last four years have been a series of disappointments,” she added of why she voted for Trump.
