Citing threats to the life of Jeffrey Epstein’s incarcerated paramour Ghislaine Maxwell, federal officials with the Bureau of Prisons have deployed special operations and counterterrorism forces to the Texas jail housing her.
“There have been death threats received,” a source close to the investigation told the New York Sun.
“They are focused on the outside looking in, as opposed to the happenings inside the camp.”
The paper reports: “Members of the BOP’s Special Operations Response Team have been working around the Federal Prison Camp Bryan’s entrance and perimeter to monitor outside threats against Maxwell. The French and British socialite is serving a 20-year prison sentence for sex trafficking and is trying to negotiate a commutation of her sentence amid enormous, renewed public interest in the Epstein case that has put pressure on President Trump.
“The BOP has also deployed its Counter Terrorism Unit, typically used to monitor the communications and activities for ‘terrorist offenders’ incarcerated in its system, to monitor threats inside Camp Bryan. Both teams have been working inside Camp Bryan since Maxwell’s transfer there last week.”
While Maxwell’s attorney David Oscar Markus did not respond to questions from the Sun, a Bureau of Prisons spokesman said it does “not comment on the conditions of confinement for any incarcerated individual, nor do we elaborate on specific security procedures.”
“We take seriously our duty to protect the individuals entrusted in our custody, as well as maintaining the safety of our employees and the community.”
The BOP houses a large number of infamous inmates at some of America’s most secure facilities, including the ignominious supermax prison in Colorado.
“But it is highly unusual for the bureau to need to protect an inmate at a minimum-security prison camp whose most prominent current inmates, prior to Maxwell’s arrival, are a ‘Real Housewife,’ Jen Shah, and the Theranos fraudster, Elizabeth Holmes,” the Sun reports.
Maxwell was transported out of Tallahassee, Florida, to her current facility in Texas after agreeing to help the government with ongoing probes into Jeffrey Epstein’s sex-trafficking ring.
Annie Farmer, an Epstein survivor, said Maxwell’s transfer is “really worrying” to herself and fellow victims of sexual abuse.
“With this prison transfer, I think it again feels like she is getting preferential treatment,” Farmer told CNN.

“That sounds like something that is unprecedented, and it’s really worrying to us about what might be coming next.”
Another survivor, Virginia Giuffre, who has since purportedly committed suicide, told media in Australia: “I was instructed to get undressed and have sex with Jeffrey Epstein while Ghislaine Maxwell was participating as well.”
“Both of them,” she stressed. “I was abused by Ghislaine and Epstein.”
WOW! This is a MUST-WATCH!

Meanwhile, appearing on “Sunday Morning Futures” with Maria Bartiromo on the Fox News Channel, Vice President JD Vance said of the Epstein case: “I laugh at the Democrats who are now all of a sudden so interested in the Epstein files. For four years Joe Biden and the Democrats did absolutely nothing about this story.”

“We know that Jeffrey Epstein had a lot of connections with left-wing politicians and billionaires, and now President Trump has demanded full transparency from this, and yet somehow the Democrats are attacking him and not the Biden administration which did nothing for four years.”
