Ghislaine Maxwell quietly moved to cushy new Texas prison as she pushes for deal to tell-all on Epstein, his associates
The 63-year-old convicted child sex trafficker was transferred from a lockup in Florida to a less restrictive prison camp in Bryan, Texas, the federal Bureau of Prisons told The Post on Friday, without giving a reason for the move.

Maxwell's lawyer, David Oscar Marcus, also declined to elaborate, saying, 'We can confirm that she was moved but we have no comment.'
Maxwell is currently facing a 20-year sentence, but is actively pursuing a deal with the DOJ in return for information on Epstein and his associates.
The sudden transfer comes a week after Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche — DOJ's second-in-command and formerly President Trump's defense lawyer — huddled all day with the disgraced British socialite and her lawyer at the US Attorney's Office in Tallahassee.
Maxwell is not set for release until 2037 while serving a 20-year sentence for grooming underage children and steering them toward the disgraced pedophile Epstein, her former lover.

Office of Special Counsel to probe potential Hatch Act violations by former Special Counsel Jack Smith
Trump and his allies have argued that Smith — who was chosen by former Attorney General Merrick Garland to lead the federal criminal investigations into Trump for his attempts to overturn the 2020 presidential election and his handling of classified documents — was conducting a 'witch hunt.' Two weeks before the election, Trump said that Smith should be 'thrown out of the country.' 'Jack Smith should be considered mentally deranged and he should be thrown out of the country,' Trump said on a radio show in October. The Justice Department has focused much of its resources and time — as it deals with the fallout and criticism from its handling of the Jeffrey Epstein saga — on the alleged wrongdoings of former Biden DOJ officials, including Smith. Earlier this year, it launched the 'Weaponization Working Group,' which is tasked with, among other things, reviewing efforts by Smith's team during the Biden administration. The investigation was first reported on Friday by the New York Post. Neither the White House nor a representative for Smith immediately responded to requests for comment. Since Smith is a former government employee, it's not entirely clear what action the independent agency could take if it finds he violated the Hatch Act. When asked about potential actions against Smith, an OSC spokesperson declined to comment.
