The House Oversight Committee subpoenaed the estate of Jeffrey Epstein seeking documents including a rumored client list and a 50th birthday book compiled by Ghislaine Maxwell. Epstein died in prison in August 2019. Maxwell is serving a 20-year sentence after convictions for sex trafficking a minor, transporting a minor with intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and conspiracy. Multiple victims testified that Maxwell recruited young women and underage girls for sex with Epstein and other older men and sometimes assaulted them herself. Maxwell spoke for two days with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche in Florida before transfer to a low-security federal camp; redacted transcripts and audio were released. Donald Trump denied claims he contributed to the birthday book and filed a lawsuit. Congressional votes to release additional documents are pending amid criticism that earlier releases added nothing new.
Maxwell is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence after she was convicted of one count of sex trafficking a minor, one count of transporting a minor with the intent to engage in criminal sexual activity, and three counts of conspiracy. Multiple victims testified at Maxwell's trial about how she not only recruited young women and underage girls to have sex with Epstein and other older men, but that Maxwell also sometimes assaulted them herself.
She recently spoke with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for two days in Tallahassee, Florida, at the maximum-security federal women's prison where she was previously held before she was transferred to Federal Prison Camp Bryan in Bryan, Texas, a minimum-security facility that is not commonly used to house inmates convicted of crimes as serious as hers. Redacted transcripts and audio clips from that interview were released last Friday.
