Ghislaine Maxwell's former cellmate shares chilling premonition of what she thinks will happen to Epstein's fixer

's former cellmate shared a chilling premonition after Jeffrey Epstein 's former accomplice revealed she would 'tell all' about the pedophile's sex trafficking scheme. Jessica Watkins, a transgender veteran who was serving time for the January 6 riots before receiving a pardon by Donald Trump, suggested 63-year-old Maxwell could meet the same fate as Epstein, who was found dead in his prison cell. 'Just putting this out there: I know Ghislaine Maxwell personally when I was in prison with her. She isn't suicidal in the least,' Watkins posted on X. 'There are also virtually no working cameras in FCI Tallahassee,' she added in an apparent reference to the suspicious coincidences around Epstein's death, which was ruled a suicide. Watkins claimed that only 'maybe ten' cameras in the 'entire' prison were present or working. 'Just getting ahead of potential narratives,' Watkins said. Her chilling post implied Maxwell's life may be in danger after she expressed willingness to testify before Congress about the so-called Epstein list. It comes amid a furious civil war between Trump's top MAGA lieutenants after the Department of Justice and Federal Bureau of Investigation stated there was no evidence that Epstein possessed a client list or "blackmailed prominent individuals". Watkins said that should Maxwell ' would not [be] by her own hand.' 'She also doesn't do drugs, is in good health, and works out everyday, so no "old age" or "natural causes" arguments will work either,' Watkins wrote. Watkins's warnings about her former cell mate come as a source claimed that Ghislaine Maxwell is willing to reveal the 'truth' on The Epstein Files in front of Congress Watkins said Maxwell was drawn to her as the only other 'celebrity inmate' in the Florida prison, based on her being named as Trump's codefendant in a January 6 legal case. 'Fortunately,' Maxwell was 'actually very nice' and a 'staunch advocate for her fellow inmates,' Watkins said, adding that that Epstein's accomplice lives in an 'open dorm' and had 'about 50 witnesses' who have eyes and ears on her at all times. . She describe Maxwell as a 'model inmate' who was 'sociable and kind.' 'So most people were nice to her. Doesn't mean she didn't do something evil,' Watkins wrote. 'But generally, she kept to herself.' 'She's safer there than in the SHU (Special Housing Unit- The Hole). They sent her there sometimes for talking to the Media,' she added. Watkins was sentenced to eight and a half years prison for charges connected to the January 6 Capitol riot, including conspiracy to obstruct an official proceeding, obstruction of an official proceeding, interfering with law enforcement officers during a civil disorder, and conspiracy to prevent an officer from discharging duties. The former 'Oath Keeper' was released in January after Trump commuted sentences to 'time served'. 'In my mind I thought it was this heroic American moment where I thought people were going into our house, we were going to be heard,' Watkins said. 'It was this moment where I lost all basic objectivity. I wasn't doing security anymore; I wasn't medic Jess anymore. I was just another idiot.' While the pardoned Jan 6 rioter said she and Maxwell were 'not friends at all,' they lived and worked together closely while behind bars. 'She always creeped me out, so I avoided her when I could . But even still, we talked often enough. In prison, it's kinda unavoidable,' she said. Watkins claimed that Maxwell was 'very tight lipped' about her case, but wrote: 'She did tell me (and I quote) "They had no interest in me until Jeffrey... died".' However, Maxwell allegedly asked members of the media, 'Why do you keep asking about [Trump], and not the Clintons?,' Watkins claimed. Maxwell is serving 20 years for her role in a scheme to sexually exploit and abuse multiple minor girls with Epstein over the course of a decade. Epstein allegedly controlled a web of underage girls who claimed they were passed around as sex toys to his wealthy friends and billionaire business associates. A source told Daily Mail that 'she would be more than happy to sit before Congress and tell her story.' 'Despite the rumors, Ghislaine was never offered any kind of plea deal,' the source said. 'No-one from the government has ever asked her to share what she knows. She remains the only person to be jailed in connection to Epstein and she would welcome the chance to tell the American public the truth.' Maxwell argues she should have been protected from prosecution as part of a Non Prosecution Agreement made by Epstein - her former lover and boss - in 2007 when he agreed to plead guilty to two minor charges of prostitution in a 'sweetheart deal' which saw him spend little time behind bars. Controversy continues to rage over the Department of Justice's statement that there is no Epstein 'client list', despite the release of videos from inside New York's Metropolitan Correctional Center the DOJ claims 'proves' he committed suicide. Critics have pointed to the fact that there is a crucial minute missing from the jail house video that also does not show the door or, indeed, the inside of Epstein's jail cell. The scandal - and alleged 'cover up' - has prompted a rebellion amongst President Trump's loyal MAGA base. Some even believe Attorney General Pam Bondi should be fired after promising to release all files relating to Epstein and his high-profile male friends only to apparently renege on that promise. 'Congressional hearings have been held into everything from JFK's assassination to 9/11. The Epstein Files rank up there with those cases. Ghislaine would be willing to speak before Congress and tell her story,' the source close to Maxwell said. Maxwell had her appeal to overturn her conviction turned down yesterday. Her attorneys then appealed directly to President Trump, calling him the 'ultimate dealmaker,' in the hopes that he may overrule Attorney General Pam Bondi. The White House, however, dismissed any suggestion that the President would pardon Maxwell. 'There have been no discussions or consideration of a pardon for Ghislaine Maxwell, and there never will be,' a senior White House official told the Daily Mail. Outcry for Maxwell's release increased after she revealed she would be willing to testify to Congress about the case against Epstein.
