Epstein associate Maxwell quietly moved from Florida to Texas prison
Ghislaine Maxwell, the longtime associate of Jeffrey Epstein, was quietly transferred from a federal prison in Florida to a federal prison in Texas, according to a Bureau of Prisons official. 'Ghislaine Maxwell is in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan in Bryan, Texas,' BOP official Benjamin O'Cone confirmed Friday in an email to The Hill. The move to Texas comes as Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking and is serving a 20-year prison sentence, and her legal team are appealing her case to the Supreme Court in hopes of having her conviction overturned. Last week, the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee subpoenaed Maxwell, asking for her testimony as the demand for President Trump's administration to release more documents related to Epstein's case continues. Maxwell's attorney, David Oscar Markus, said her client would only speak to the committee if granted immunity, something the panel rejected. Markus also asked for the questions directed to Maxwell to be submitted in advance and that any potential deposition be held after the nation's highest court weighs in on her petition. The Justice Department's (DOJ) No. 2 official, Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, spoke with Maxwell in Florida last week for more than nine hours over the course of two days. The Trump administration has faced a backlash after an early-July joint memo from the DOJ and FBI said that Epstein, a convicted sex offender and disgraced financier, died by suicide in 2019 while awaiting trial in jail and that he did not keep a 'client list.' The news of Maxwell's transfer was first reported by The New York Sun. Federal Prison Camp Bryan is a minimum-security jail for female inmates and will likely offer better conditions for Maxwell. The facility is located around 95 miles northwest of Houston and can hold up to 635 inmates. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Two more men charged over Epping migrant hotel disorder
Two men have been charged in connection with disorder outside a migrant hotel. It brings the total number of people charged by the Crown Prosecution Service (CPS) after protests in Epping, Essex, to 11. Charlie Land, 23, has been charged with violent disorder and criminal damage. Luke Fleming, 21, has been charged with violent disorder. Both will appear at Chelmsford Magistrates' Court on Monday. Nine others have already been charged by the CPS. Shaun Thompson, 37, is charged with violent disorder and criminal damage; Lee Gower, 43, is charged with violent disorder and assault on an emergency worker; Aaron Elles, 28, Jonathan Glover, 47, Stuart Williams, 36, and Dean Smith, 51, are charged with violent disorder; Keith Silk, 33, is charged with violent disorder and criminal damage; and Phillip Curson, 52, is charged with violent disorder. Martin Peagram, 33, has been found guilty of violent disorder. The charges came after weeks of protests outside The Bell Hotel in Epping, which is used to house asylum seekers. Demonstrations began on July 13 after an asylum seeker was charged with allegedly attempting to kiss a 14-year-old girl. Hadush Gerberslasie Kebatu, 38, denies sexual assault and is due to stand trial this month. Essex Police had recently put dispersal orders in place ahead of some protests, giving officers powers to direct anyone suspected of committing anti-social behaviour to leave the area. The force has also used Section 60AA orders to prevent people from wearing face coverings.
