Lawmakers Visit Minimum-Security Facility Where Ghislaine Maxwell Was Moved To

Staffers on the Oversight and Judiciary Committees visited the prison facility Tuesday where Jeffrey Epstein’s former conspirator, Ghislaine Maxwell, is being held.

Democratic Reps. Jamie Raskin of Maryland and Robert Garcia of California, the ranking members of the Judiciary and Oversight and Government Reform Committees, said the staffers traveled there as part of their investigation into Maxwell’s transfer to the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan. The staffers made a three-hour visit, which included a two-hour tour with facility staff and the warden.

“Today, investigators from our Committees traveled to FPC Bryan, where Ghislaine Maxwell is serving her sentence, despite BOP policies barring sex offenders from this minimum-security facility absent a special waiver. We went to Camp Bryan seeking answers about Ms. Maxwell’s unprecedented transfer and VIP treatment,” Raskin and Garcia’s joint statement said.

“While the Camp Bryan staff provided an extensive tour of the grounds and programming of the facility, Bureau of Prisons leadership repeatedly shut down our lines of questioning or could not provide basic information about our central concerns, including Ms. Maxwell’s extraordinary treatment, allegations of sexual assault at the facility, and retaliation against inmates who tried to blow the whistle. We also have serious concerns about the accuracy and veracity of information received by our investigative staff,” the statement stated.

Democrats on the Oversight Committee stated that staffers were investigating reports of Maxwell’s alleged “five-star treatment.”

Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence after being convicted of sex trafficking underage girls, was transferred
