Maxwell, an associate of the late sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, was convicted of sex trafficking and other charges and sentenced to 20 years in prison in 2022, which she was serving at a federal prison in Tallahassee, Florida, until her recent move to a federal prison camp in Texas. She is appealing her conviction to the U.S. Supreme Court.

President Donald Trump was asked on Tuesday whether he was aware of or personally approved the prison transfer of Ghislaine Maxwell, a sex offender serving a 20-year-sentence related to her association with disgraced financier and fellow sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.
