Ghislaine Maxwell has reportedly been moved from a low-security federal prison in Florida to the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp Bryan in southeast Texas.

The move, first reported by The New York Sun on Friday, comes a week after Maxwell’s meetings with U.S. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, President Trump’s former personal attorney, regarding the Jeffrey Epstein investigation.

The two spoke over a period of two days, during which she indicated she would testify before Congress if granted full immunity from future prosecution, including a presidential pardon.

It’s not clear why the 63-year-old convict was transferred. The Bureau of Prisons couldn’t immediately be reached for comment. It’s online inmate tracker didn’t list a location for inmate #02879-509 early Friday afternoon.

Maxwell was sentenced to 20 years in prison 2022 “for her role in a scheme to sexually exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Jeffrey Epstein over the course of a decade,” according to the Justice Department. She’s appealing her conviction.

The president’s association with the pair is under heavy scrutiny amid reports that he and Epstein — who died by suicide in prison in 2019 while awaiting trial on federal sex trafficking charges— once had a close relationship.

Trump said earlier this week that he and Epstein had a falling out many years ago after the disgraced financier “stole” teenage employee Virginia Giuffre from his Mar-a-Lago club, where she worked in the spa in 2000.

Giuffre died by suicide in April, according to her family, who have insisted that she’d been exploited by Epstein and believe Trump may know more than he’s telling. Giuffre is not known to have accused Trump of wrongdoing. He’s denied any impropriety involving Epstein and Maxwell.

Trump told New York magazine in 2002 he enjoyed spending time with Epstein.

“It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side,” he told the magazine.

Trump has since called Epstein a “creep” and distanced himself from the sex offender, who pleaded guilty in 2008 to soliciting prostitutes including a minor.

Maxwell’s “sweetheart” deal places her in a prison that puts her much closer to her family, according to the Daily Beast.

FPC Bryan offers the lowest level of restriction in the federal system — a step down from the low-security FCI Tallahassee she was previously in.
