Maxwell Transferred to Texas Prison Camp as Lawyers Seek Trump Pardon

TEXAS, AUG 4 – Maxwell’s transfer follows a two-day DOJ interview and coincides with her efforts to seek leniency, including a possible pardon, while serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking.

  • Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred on Friday to a minimum-security federal prison camp in Bryan, Texas, from a Florida prison where she served part of her sentence.
  • Maxwell, who was found guilty in 2021 of assisting Jeffrey Epstein in sexually abusing underage girls, received a 20-year prison sentence and is currently challenging her conviction based on a prior government agreement.
  • Her transfer comes after she underwent a nine-hour interview spread across two sessions with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, as part of the Justice Department’s initiative to identify credible information about potential accomplices.
  • Maxwell's attorney David Markus said she was questioned about over 100 people, clarified no deal was requested for her testimony, and acknowledged President Trump's pardon power, hoping it is exercised rightly.
  • Maxwell's lawyers stated she would only talk to the House Oversight Committee if granted immunity from prosecution for her statements, indicating ongoing negotiations amid heightened public scrutiny.
