Ghislaine Maxwell was transferred from a Florida prison to a low -security establishment in Texas to continue to serve his 20 -year sentence for helping the financier and the sexual offender Jeffrey Epstein sexually abuses minor girls, the American prisons office said on Friday.
Maxwell’s move from FCI Tallahassee, a low-security prison, at the Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas, occurs a week after meeting the US sub-procureur Todd Blanche, who said he wanted to talk to him about any other person who could have been involved in Epstein’s crimes.
Maxwell’s lawyer David Markus confirmed that she had been moved but said he had no other comment. Spokesperson for the United States Ministry of Justice did not immediately respond to requests for comments.
Asked during an interview with the White House with Newsmax on Friday on the possibility of forgiving Maxwell, President Donald Trump said: “I am allowed to do so, but no one asked me to do so.” He added: “I don’t know anything about the case.”
Asked about what was discussed between Maxwell and the general sub-procurer last week, Trump said that he thought Blanche “just wanted to make sure that the innocent people are not injured” should be published in Epstein’s investigation.
The BOP classifies prison camps such as Bryan as minimal safety institutions, the five lowest security levels in the federal system. These installations have a limited or not fence of perimeter or not. The low -security facilities such as FCI Tallahassee have double -fence perimeters and higher staff / comrade ratios than prison camps, according to the office.
When he was asked why Maxwell had been transferred, the spokesman for the BOP, Donald Murphy, said that he could not comment on the details of the prison mission of anyone imprisoned, but that the BOP determines where the prisoners are sent on the basis of factors such as “the level of security and supervision that the detainee needs”.
Blanche’s meeting with Maxwell came while Trump faces the pressure of his basis of conservative supporters and Democrats in the Congress to disclose more information from the Ministry of Justice surveys on Maxwell and Epstein.
The ministry requests the approval of the court to release the transcriptions of the testimonies of the agents of the application of laws before the major juries who charged Maxwell and Epstein. These transcriptions are generally kept secret. Two federal judges in Manhattan weigh the government’s requests.
Maxwell, Epstein lawyers and their alleged victims should share their positions on the potential of non-comme with judges in deposits on Tuesday.
Epstein died by suicide in a cell in Manhattan prison in 2019 while waiting for a sex trafficking trial. He had pleaded not guilty.
Neither Markus nor white provided detailed accounts of what they discussed. Markus said Maxwell would host Trump’s relief.
Maxwell was found guilty during a trial in 2021 recruitment and grooming of girls in Epstein to abuse. She had pleaded not guilty and asked the United States Supreme Court to cancel her conviction.
