New information received by Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee alleges that convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is receiving preferential treatment in her new prison accommodations, including hand-delivered meals and private meetings with visitors.
The claims regarding Maxwell’s “concierge-style treatment” were detailed in a six-page letter sent by ranking Democrat on the committee, Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD), on Sunday and addressed to President Donald Trump.
“Federal law enforcement staff working at the camp have been waiting on Ms. Maxwell hand and foot,” the letter reads.
It alleges that when Maxwell asked for a meeting with visitors to be conducted in private, “the Warden personally arranged it for her — and then provided a special cordoned off area for visitors to arrive, as well as an assortment of snacks and refreshments for her guests.”
Raskin’s letter claims that Maxwell’s visitors were permitted to bring computers to the private meeting, something Raskin calls “an unprecedented action by the Warden given the security risk and potential for Ms. Maxwell to use a computer to conduct unmonitored communications with the outside world.”
Maxwell’s comfortable accommodations were also detailed in emails sent to the House Judiciary Committee and later obtained by NBC News on Saturday.
“I feel like I have dropped through Alice in Wonderlands looking glass…I am much much happier here and more importantly safe,” she wrote.
Maxwell was moved to the minimum security prison in Texas where she now resides, just days after she spoke to Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche about her former boyfriend, Jeffery Epstein, in July. Maxwell did not implicate Trump in her testimony, something many have speculated may have been an intentional attempt on Maxwell’s part to curry favor with Trump for a possible pardon.
Raskin’s letter called on Blanche to testify before the Judiciary Committee to “answer for this corrupt misuse of law enforcement resources and potential exchange of favors for false testimony exonerating you and other Epstein accomplices.”
Information received by the committee also indicates that Maxwell is planning to apply for a commutation of her federal prison sentence.
Addressing Trump directly, the letter says that Maxwell “is preparing a ‘Commutation Application’ for your Administration to review, undoubtedly coming to you for your direct consideration. The Warden herself is directly helping Ms. Maxwell copy, print, and send documents related to this application.”
It goes on to say that “either that Ms. Maxwell is herself requesting you release her from her 20-year prison sentence for her role as a co-conspirator in Jeffrey Epstein’s international child sex trafficking ring, or that this child sex predator now holds such tremendous sway in the second Trump Administration that you and your DOJ will follow her clemency recommendations.”
The Supreme Court rejected Maxwell’s appeal of her 20-year prison sentence in October.
