Ghislaine Maxwell Quietly Moved to Minimum-Security Prison After Epstein Questioning

On Monday, a federal judge in New York turned down the government’s request to unseal grand jury transcripts pertaining to the criminal investigation of Jeffrey Epstein’s associate, Ghislaine Maxwell.

Judge Paul A. Engelmayer stated that releasing these documents would necessitate “special circumstances,” as it would compromise the secrecy integral to grand jury proceedings. Engelmayer expressed worry that granting the government’s request could cause grand jury witnesses to doubt the confidentiality of their testimonies, according to The New York Times.

Maxwell, serving a 20-year sentence for grooming and abusing Epstein’s underage victims, opposed the unsealing of the grand jury investigation against her. Federal officials claimed this information might shed new light on the duo’s crimes — a notion Judge Engelmayer outright dismissed.

Judge Engelmayer’s ruling in New York follows a recent federal court decision in Florida, which determined it lacked the authority to unseal records concerning the 2005 and 2007 investigations against Epstein in West Palm Beach.

Maxwell was arrested a year after Epstein and was convicted in 2021. Epstein was discovered hanged in his New York cell in 2019 while awaiting trial for sex trafficking, with his death ruled a suicide.

Towards the end of last month, Maxwell was transferred from a federal prison in Florida to a low-security, dormitory-style facility in Texas after the Bureau of Prisons reassessed and lowered her status.

Normally, such a move might occur when an inmate serving time for crimes like Maxwell’s comes closer to the end of a sentence; Maxwell has only just started hers.

Maxwell’s transfer came 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. However, the Justice Department stated that no further information would be released about the case.

The House Oversight Committee  has issued subpoenas to a slew of officials — including current Attorney General Pam Bondi, former President Bill Clinton, and ex-Secretary of State Hillary Clinton.

Lawmakers are seeking the Clintons’ testimony due to their ties to Epstein and Maxwell in the early 2000s.

The committee also subpoenaed Maxwell and has already denied her request for immunity. They plan to get her deposition on August 11.
