Congress Probes Maxwell's Prison Transfer, Perks

House Democrats said prison officials gave staffers few answers as they examine Maxwell’s transfer, alleged special treatment and whistleblower claims.

  • On Tuesday, staff for the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees visited Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas to investigate allegations of special treatment for Ghislaine Maxwell.
  • Whistleblowers alleged officials running the Texas prison made Maxwell's life easier; Maxwell was moved to this minimum-security camp from a Florida prison last year.
  • Staffers found Maxwell was the only convicted sex offender among roughly 600 inmates and were not allowed to question her, while the warden argued Maxwell was not given special treatment.
  • Rep. Jamie Raskin and Rep. Robert Garcia stated the Bureau of Prisons "repeatedly shut down our lines of questioning" regarding Maxwell's transfer and alleged special treatment.
  • Raskin and Garcia promised to investigate Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche's "role in ensuring Ms. Maxwell remains comfortable and quiet," as Democrats wonder if the transfer was part of a deal regarding Trump and Jeffrey Epstein.
