On Thursday, Ghislaine Maxwell was reportedly moved from a federal prison in Florida to a minimum-security facility in Texas.
An unidentified source told The New York Sun that Maxwell was temporarily held at FCI Oakdale in Louisiana before being moved to the Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Texas. The source also said it was unusual for the Bureau of Prisons — not U.S. Marshals — to manage Maxwell’s transport, as the latter agency supervises interstate inmate transport.
Convicted in 2021, Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for grooming and abusing Jeffrey Epstein’s underage victims. The New York Sun reported that sex offenders like Maxwell are rarely housed at minimum-security prisons.
Maxwell’s move comes about a week after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche reportedly questioned her about the Epstein case and her knowledge of his activities.
The questioning took place over two days, amid calls for the Trump Administration to release all files related to the controversial case. Last month, the Justice Department said no more information would be released about the case.
In addition to Blanche’s interview with Maxwell, the House Oversight Committee formally subpoenaed her. On Tuesday, the committee denied Maxwell’s request for immunity, according to NBC.
According to Maxwell’s attorneys, she is “willing and eager” to testify with immunity, but would invoke the Fifth Amendment and not testify without those protections. The House Oversight Committee plans to get the deposition from Maxwell on August 11.
