Epstein aide Ghislaine Maxwell silently moved from Florida to federal prison in Texas
Jeffrey Epstein’s girlfriend, long-time associate Ghislaine Maxwell, has silently been moved from her prison in Florida to a federal prison in Texas, according to reports. Maxwell’s attorney, David Oscar Markus, confirmed that she was being moved but offered no further explanation. Maxwell was temporarily placed at a federal prison in Oakdale, Louisiana, before she was moved to Texas, the New York Sun reported.The relocation comes as Maxwell recently offered to testify before Congress and kept major conditions. And one of the conditions is that the interview can’t happen at the correction facility where she was serving her sentence.“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 wrote to House Oversight Committee Chairman James Comer.“Of course, in the alternative, if Ms. Maxwell were to receive clemency, she would be willing — and eager — to testify openly and honestly, in public, before Congress in Washington, D.C.,” Markus said. “She welcomes the opportunity to share the truth and to dispel the many misconceptions and misstatements that have plagued this case from the beginning.”Maxwell came to the forefront of the case after the DOJ and the FBI closed the Epstein case and said Epstein was not murdered and he left no list of clients. Maxwell’s family members started pressuring for her release and claimed a threat to her life in prison. They said Maxwell was never called to testify before Congress to put forth her side of the story. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche also interviewed Maxwell last week and Maxwell apparently offered 100 names in connection with Epstein. While the Donald Trump administration drew flak for closing the Epstein case, it is now under fire as speculations are rife that Donald Trump would pardon Ghislaine Maxwell. “Well, I’m allowed to give her a pardon, but nobody’s approached me with it,” Trump said Monday. “Nobody’s asked me about it.”The family of Virginia Giuffre, who was among Jeffrey Epstein’s most well-known sex trafficking accusers, urged President Donald Trump to not pardon Maxwell. Giuffre, who had accused Britain’s Prince Andrew and other influential men of sexually exploiting her as a teenager trafficked by Epstein, has been a central figure in conspiracy theories tied to the case. She died by suicide this year.Trump recently acknowledged Giuffre and said Epstein ‘stole’ Giuffre from Mar-a-Lago where she was working.
