Raskin Investigates Trump-era Over Alleged Ghislaine Maxwell Prison Perks

Rep. Jamie Raskin has raised serious concerns over alleged preferential treatment for Ghislaine Maxwell during her incarceration. The accusations come after a whistleblower revealed that Maxwell is preparing a commutation application for the Trump administration.

Raskin’s Letter to Trump

On Sunday, Raskin, who serves as the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, sent a six-page letter to former President Donald Trump. He accused the Trump administration of misusing law enforcement resources and allowing corrupt practices linked to Maxwell’s case.

Call for Accountability

In his letter, Raskin demanded Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche to testify before the Judiciary Committee. He is seeking answers regarding the allegations of favoritism and possible exchanges for false testimony aimed at exonerating Maxwell and other individuals connected to Jeffrey Epstein.

Background on Ghislaine Maxwell

Ghislaine Maxwell, currently serving a 20-year sentence for child sex trafficking and other crimes, was moved to Federal Prison Camp Bryan, a minimum-security facility. This transfer has raised eyebrows as it may violate Bureau of Prisons policies, including the prohibition of placing sex offenders in such institutions.

Details of the Transfer

Before her transfer, Maxwell was held at FCI Tallahassee, a low-security prison. The move to Bryan follows a controversial two-day meeting in July between Maxwell and Blanche, where discussions reportedly covered the names of approximately 100 individuals associated with Epstein.

Ongoing Concerns

Raskin has previously communicated his concerns to both the Department of Justice and the Bureau of Prisons, particularly regarding Maxwell’s transfer. The situation continues to develop, and Raskin’s inquiries signal a significant scrutiny of the treatment of individuals like Maxwell.
