Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, has been moved to a high-security prison in Texas, triggering outrage from some of their victims.
Although the prison authorities did not give any reason for Maxwell’s transfer, it came just a week after she was questioned by officers of the Department of Justice about her sex offender partner, Jeffrey Epstein, who died in 2019.
A prison spokesperson said, “We can confirm Ghislaine Maxwell is in the custody of the Federal Bureau of Prisons at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan in Bryan, Texas.”
Maxwell, who is one of the two accused, has offered to testify before the US Congress about Epstein if given immunity, while she has also been seeking a pardon from President Trump.
She is serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted in 2011 of recruiting underage girls for Epstein.
“Maxwell is a sexual predator who physically assaulted underage children on multiple occasions, and she should never be shown any leniency,” said the family of one of the victims who was reportedly abused by Maxwell and Epstein.
The families have said that her transfer to the maximum-security Texas prison suggests some sort of planned cover-up by the government.
Tim Hogan, a senior Democratic National Committee adviser, said, “Donald Trump’s FBI, run by loyalist Kash Patel, redacted Trump’s name from the Epstein files — which have still not been released.”
Hogan further accused the Trump administration of doing “favours for serious criminals, especially those involved in the horrifying Epstein files.”
Trump is facing mounting pressure from Democrats and many of his conspiracy-minded ‘Make America Great Again’ supporters to be more transparent about the case of the wealthy and well-connected Epstein.
