House Judiciary Committee Democrats, led by Representative Jamie Raskin, have formally requested the Justice Department to provide all documents, reports, transfer orders, waivers, and other records related to the transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell from a more restrictive Bureau of Prisons facility to a minimum-security federal prison camp in Texas. This transfer occurred during the Trump administration and has raised concerns among lawmakers about potential special treatment afforded to Maxwell, who is a convicted child sex offender and accomplice of Jeffrey Epstein. Senator Sheldon Whitehouse has also called for documents regarding the transfer, describing the situation as a "protection racket." The Democrats emphasized that the American public deserves transparency and accountability in this matter. Raskin and other Judiciary Committee members are seeking answers amid allegations that the Trump Justice Department may have facilitated the transfer under questionable circumstances.
