Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell reportedly moved from Florida prison to Texas as Trump weighs pardon
Jeffrey Epstein’s long-time associate Ghislaine Maxwell has reportedly been moved from her prison in Florida to another institution in Texas, The New York Sun reports.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year sentence for her role in helping Epstein recruit, groom, and abuse young girls. She was being held at a federal prison in Tallahassee. Now, she’s at the Federal Prison Camp Bryan in southeast Texas, a Bureau of Prisons spokesperson told the Sun.
Maxwell was temporarily placed at a federal prison in Oakdale, Louisiana before moving to Texas, the Sun reports.
This move comes amid mounting speculation over whether President Donald Trump could grant the British socialite a pardon. The 63-year-old isn’t set to be released from prison until
“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.”
Maxwell asked Congress Tuesday to push for a pardon so she could “testify open and honestly” before lawmakers, ABC News reports. This comes after the House Oversight Committee subpoenaed Maxwell last week. Her deposition date is set for August 11.
Maxwell has also petitioned the Supreme Court to consider an appeal of her conviction, which the Justice Department has urged the court to reject.
