Special operations soldiers have been deployed to protect Ghislaine Maxwell in prison, after she received a flood of death threats.
According to The New York Sun, “Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime paramour and closest associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, has received death threats since her surprise transfer to a minimum-security prison camp at Bryan, Texas, prompting federal corrections officials to call in the Bureau of Prisons’ Counter Terrorism and Special Operations units to considerably beef up its security at the facility.”
“Members of the BOP’s [Board of Prisons] Special Operations Response Team have been working around the Federal Prison Camp Bryan’s entrance and perimeter to monitor outside threats against Maxwell,” the Sun explains, adding that the BOP has also deployed its Counter Terrorism Unit to monitor threats from inside the prison.
Both teams have been working at the prison since Maxwell was transferred there at the beginning of the month.
Maxwell, who is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence for her role in grooming and procuring underage girls for disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein, was moved from a prison in Florida when she agreed to cooperate with the Department of Justice’s (DoJ) ongoing investigations into Epstein and his associates.
Yesterday, Infowars reported that the DoJ is moving to unseal grand-jury records relating to the criminal cases against Epstein and Maxwell.
According to a filing from Jay Clayton, the US Attorney for the Southern District of New York, exhibits from the two cases must be “subject to appropriate redactions of victim-related and other personal identifying information” before their release.
“As there are parties whose names appear in the grand jury exhibits but did not appear in the grand jury transcripts, the Government is undertaking to notify such parties to the extent their names appear in grand jury exhibits that were not publicly admitted at the Maxwell trial (and they were not already notified in connection with the request to unseal the grand jury transcripts),” Clayton wrote.
Clayton, with Attorney General Pam Bondi and Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, asked a Manhattan judge for the release of the documents to be delayed until after 14 August to ensure the parties mentioned in them are notified of their impending release.
President Trump has faced significant criticism, especially from the MAGA base, for his administration’s failure to provide full disclosure of the Epstein files, which was a campaign promise.
FBI Director Kash Patel, Deputy Director Dan Bongino and Attorney General Pam Bondi have all faced criticism too for backtracking on previous promises and claims about the files.
