Ghislaine Maxwell’s ‘Unusual’ Move To Different Prison Raises New Questions

Ghislaine Maxwell appears to have secured herself comfier confines, raising questions about what was bartered to secure her transfer to a new facility.

The accomplice to the late pedophile Jeffrey Epstein was recently moved to Texas from Florida where she was previously held and interviewed last month by Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche.

In Texas, Maxwell will enjoy some amenities previously unavailable to her in the Sunshine State, a small comfort as she serves out the remainder of her 20-year sentence on child sex-trafficking charges.

She is now housed at the Federal Prison Camp Bryan after spending several days at the Oakdale prison in Louisiana, according to the New York Sun. The transfer was made by the Federal Bureau of Prisons, an unusual arrangement, as prominent federal inmates are usually transported by the U.S. Marshals.

“We can confirm, Ghislaine Maxwell is in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan in Bryan, Texas,” a BOP spokesperson told the outlet.

“She is not staying in Oakdale. It was a brief stopover. Officials from Texas were expected to take custody of her shortly after the handoff, and she is being moved again to an undisclosed location,” a source told The New York Sun.

The move comes as Maxwell petitions President Donald Trump for a pardon in exchange for new information about her relationship with Epstein, who died in 2019 while facing charges he sexually abused hundreds or thousands of young girls at his notorious compound in the U.S. Virgin Islands.

Blanche, speaking after their interview, claimed Maxwell had been candid with her answers about who was involved in Epstein’s orbit and may have participated in his sexual abuse of minors. Maxwell was sentenced for recruiting and grooming many of the young girls, some of whom Trump claimed were “stolen” from Mar-a-Lago where they worked for him.

In their discussion, Blanche confirmed that Maxwell has handed over “100 names” of individuals associated with Epstein and who may not have been publicly named yet.

A lawyer for Maxwell said she is prepared to testify “openly and honestly” to Congress if a pardon is on the table.

That may happen regardless, as the U.S. House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Maxwell for testimony on August 11. However, attorney David Oscar Markus said Maxwell would vigorously exercise her Fifth Amendment right against answering questions as the arrangement currently stands.

“Ms. Maxwell cannot risk further criminal exposure in a politically charged environment without formal immunity. Nor is a prison setting conducive to eliciting truthful and complete testimony,” Markus said.

On Monday, President Trump said he hadn’t “given a lot of thought” to whether he should pardon Maxwell in exchange for new testimony.

“Well, I’m allowed to give her a pardon, but nobody’s approached me with it,” he said, the Daily Mail reported.

Maxwell’s attorney this week petitioned the U.S. Supreme Court to hear her case, arguing a 2007 non-prosecution agreement in Florida should prevent her incarceration.

The Trump administration is under tremendous pressure to produce new evidence in the government’s Epstein investigation, and Maxwell has seized on the moment by promising to reveal new details about Epstein’s abuse and who else may be implicated by it.
