"Attorney General Pam Bondi agreed during a Wednesday hearing that Ghislaine Maxwell does not deserve special treatment, but she couldn't identify the reason behind Maxwell's recent controversial prison transfer. Sparks flew between Bondi and lawmakers on both sides of the political aisle when she appeared before the House Judiciary Committee. Things became especially tense on the subject of the Department of Justice's ongoing release of files related to convicted child sex predator Jeffrey Epstein."
"Rep. Deborah Ross (D-NC) focused her time on Wednesday on Maxwell, the longtime associate of Epstein who is now serving 20 years for sex trafficking. Maxwell was transferred to a Texas minimum security prison following meetings with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche President Donald Trump's former personal lawyer. She has now been requesting clemency in exchange for testimony about Epstein, who died of an apparent suicide in 2019 while awaiting sex trafficking charges."
Attorney General Pam Bondi acknowledged that Ghislaine Maxwell does not deserve special treatment yet could not identify why Maxwell was moved to a Texas prison. Lawmakers from both parties pressed Bondi during a House Judiciary Committee hearing about Justice Department releases related to Jeffrey Epstein. Maxwell, a longtime Epstein associate serving 20 years for sex trafficking, was transferred from Florida to a Texas minimum-security facility after meetings involving Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche and a former personal lawyer to President Trump. Maxwell has sought clemency in exchange for testimony about Epstein. Rep. Deborah Ross cited reports of special privileges that survivors say retraumatize them, and Bondi stated she hopes Maxwell dies behind bars while denying a lower-security placement.
