Rep. Robert Garcia (D-Calif.), the ranking member on the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, is demanding that the Department of Justice (DOJ) inspector general’s office launch an investigation into the quiet transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell from a correctional facility in Florida to a prison camp in Texas.
“We request that you immediately investigate the circumstances of Maxwell’s transfer. It is critical to address concerns that Maxwell was rewarded with a transfer in exchange for testimony manufactured to exonerate President Trump and other high-profile associates of Epstein,” Garcia and all 18 other Democrats on the panel said Wednesday in a 5-page letter to DOJ’s acting Inspector General William Blier.
The Hill has reached out to the Blier’s office for comment.
Maxwell, a former longtime associate of the deceased sex offender and financier Jeffrey Epstein, was transferred earlier this summer from a federal prison in Florida to a lower-security prison camp in Bryan, Texas.
