Ghislaine Maxwell Moved to Texas Lockup as She Courts Trump for Pardon

Ghislaine Maxwell, the British socialite convicted for her role in Jeffrey Epstein’s sex trafficking network, has been quietly transferred from her federal prison in Florida to a women’s prison facility in Texas, officials confirmed Thursday.

Maxwell is now housed at Federal Prison Camp Bryan, a lower-security facility in Bryan, Texas. The move was confirmed by Benjamin O’Cone of the Bureau of Prisons following reports from the New York Sun.

But this relocation isn’t just about logistics. Behind the scenes, Maxwell’s legal team is mounting a multi-pronged effort to change her fate. They’re currently pushing for the U.S. Supreme Court to overturn her conviction—and they’ve also made an eyebrow-raising play: requesting a presidential pardon or commutation from former President Donald Trump.

According to insiders, Maxwell spent two days last week in discussions with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, a former attorney for Trump, at a courthouse near the Tallahassee facility she previously called home. These talks reportedly revolved around Maxwell’s potential cooperation in revealing more details tied to Epstein’s trafficking network and possible protection deals.

Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in federal prison for grooming and recruiting underage girls for Epstein between 1994 and 2004. Though convicted, she has maintained her innocence and continues to challenge her case.

Now in Texas and labeled inmate No. 02879-509, Ghislaine Maxwell’s legal fight appears far from over—and if her team’s efforts pan out, this transfer could be just one of many headlines in her ongoing saga.
