Ghislaine Maxwell Transferred to Minimum-Security Prison in Texas
Ghislaine Maxwell, an associate of Jeffrey Epstein, has been transferred to a minimum-security women’s prison camp in Bryan, Texas. The transfer has sparked criticism from Epstein's victims and their families, who have condemned the Trump administration for the move. Victims and family members, including Annie Farmer, Maria Farmer, and relatives of Virginia Giuffre, criticized President Trump, suggesting a cover-up and preferential treatment for convicted sex offenders. They expressed outrage that they were not notified before the media reported on the transfer. Deputy Attorney Todd Blanche, who is involved in the case, was previously Trump’s criminal defense lawyer. A statement also mentioned a 2000 photo showing Trump, Melania Knauss, Jeffrey Epstein, and Maxwell at Mar-a-Lago. Additionally, a document released by the U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Oversight and Reform suggests that Peter Mandelson referred to Epstein as his 'best pal' in a birthday message, though Mandelson has distanced himself from Epstein.
