The director of the Federal Bureau of Prisons under President Donald Trump is responding following a Democratic representative’s claim that the administration provided upscale conditions to Jeffrey Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell.

Maxwell, whom authorities claim managed Epstein’s child exploitation operation for many years, was unexpectedly transferred from a Florida facility to a well-equipped “prison camp” in Bryan, Texas typically used for minor offenders, violating regulations that usually prevent sex offenders from being placed there — just as the administration was seeking her testimony to ease public anger over the Epstein case documents.
