Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee, including ranking member Jamie Raskin (D-MD), demanded answers from Attorney General Pam Bondi after Jeffrey Epstein's accomplice, Ghislaine Maxwell, was transferred to a "relatively luxurious minimum-security prison camp in Texas."

In a letter to Bondi on Wednesday, Democrats noted that the Department of Justice had "inexplicably transferred" Maxwell after she met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for two days.

"The transfer follows Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche's private interviews of Ms. Maxwell arranged after a firestorm of media attention about the Department of Justice's (DOJ) refusal to release the full Epstein files as originally demanded by President Donald Trump," the Democrats said. "These actions raise substantial concerns that the Administration may now be attempting to tamper with a crucial witness, conceal President Trump's relationship with convicted sex offenders, and coax Ms. Maxwell into providing false or misleading testimony in order to protect the President."

The DOJ and Bureau of Prisons may have also violated internal policies with the transfer, according to the lawmakers.
