Jamie Raskin, the top Democrat on the House Judiciary Committee, responded to Turnage within 30 minutes, she said. The 46-year-old added that she has since participated in multiple follow-up calls regarding her disclosures.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI have not shared them with anyone other than the committee,\u201d Turnage said of Maxwell\u2019s emails, some of which she showed to a reporter this week, KBTX reported.<\/p>\n<p>Over the summer,\u00a0Maxwell confirmed to the Department of Justice\u00a0during a series of sit-down meetings that she did not witness Donald Trump exhibit inappropriate behavior on the occasions that she met him.<\/p>\n<p>Maxwell had met with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche for a total of nine hours late last month. According to her attorney, she had been forthright during questioning and did not \u201cplead the fifth.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to ABC News\u2019\u00a0sources, Maxwell reportedly said that Trump had \u201cnever done anything in her presence that would have caused concern.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>As for Turnage, she said she provided Maxwell\u2019s correspondence after facing retaliation from Bureau of Prisons officials for reporting what she described as poor working conditions and the alleged mistreatment of inmates at Federal Prison Camp Bryan.<\/p>\n<p>She said her complaints resulted in her reassignment to the facility\u2019s \u201cphone room,\u201d where her responsibilities included monitoring inmate telephone calls and emails, Newsweek noted.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThey call it prison jail,\u201d Turnage told KBTX. \u201cI would be looking for any evidence that they\u2019re doing something they shouldn\u2019t be. Like, are they trying to smuggle in drugs? Are they doing this? Are they whatever? But these women aren\u2019t risking that, not for the most part. And same as emails, you\u2019re monitoring for anything they shouldn\u2019t be doing. Usually on the phone, the biggest thing you run into is they\u2019ll call a family member who then conference calls somebody else that they\u2019re not supposed to be talking to.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Turnage said that Tanisha Hall, the warden of the federal prison, personally handled all incoming mail addressed to Maxwell.<\/p>\n<p>Maxwell \u2014 who is serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein\u2019s international sex-trafficking operation \u2014 also received \u201cprivate, catered-style visitation arrangements\u201d at the minimum-security facility, according to KBTX.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was the whole thing about closing down the compound for her to have a visit,\u201d Turnage told the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>Maxwell\u2019s relatives were permitted to attend private meetings, often disguised as legal consultations, claims Turnage.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI guess maybe they can bring everybody and say it\u2019s a legal visit?\u201d she continued. \u201cI don\u2019t know, but they\u2019re going to have an area cornered off for you, so it won\u2019t be a problem coming in. They\u2019re going to provide drinks, coffee, snacks, and all this stuff.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Some of Ghislaine Maxwell\u2019s outgoing correspondence appeared \u201ccoded,\u201d with irregular spacing and formatting that differed from messages sent by other inmates, according to Turnage.<\/p>\n<p>The veteran Bureau of Prisons (BOP) employee printed some of Maxwell\u2019s messages and examined them at home. After noticing a Wall Street Journal report in early October about the favorable treatment that Epstein\u2019s former associate allegedly received at the federal prison, Turnage shared the emails with Raskin\u2019s office.<\/p>\n<p class=\"article-subheading text-utility-300\">Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee wrote in a letter to Donald Trump that the convicted child sex offender plans to file a commutation application for the Trump administration\u2019s review, according to reporting by NBC and CBS<\/p>\n<p>Sylvain Gaboury\/Patrick McMullan via Getty; Kevin Dietsch\/Getty<\/p>\n<p class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_2-0\">Ghislaine Maxwell\u00a0is planning to seek a commutation of her prison sentence from\u00a0President Donald Trump, according to multiple news reports.<\/p>\n<p class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_4-0\">The disgraced 63-year-old former British socialite is currently serving a\u00a020-year federal prison sentence\u00a0for her role in\u00a0sex trafficking underage girls alongside financier\u00a0Jeffrey Epstein.<\/p>\n<p class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_6-0\">Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee wrote a letter to Trump on Monday, Nov. 10, saying that Maxwell is planning to file the commutation application for Trump&#8217;s administration&#8217;s review, according to reporting by\u00a0NBC\u00a0and\u00a0CBS.<\/p>\n<p class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_8-0\">NBC cites a whistleblower and CBS cites a letter obtained by Democrats on the Judiciary Committee and seen by the news outlet.<\/p>\n<p class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">Per CBS, the letter from the committee&#8217;s Democrats says it has received information that shows &#8220;either that Ms. Maxwell is herself requesting you release her from her 20-year prison sentence for her role as a co-conspirator in Jeffrey Epstein&#8217;s international child sex trafficking ring, or that this child sex predator now holds such tremendous sway in the second Trump Administration that you and your DOJ will follow her clemency recommendations.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_14-0\">A source close to Maxwell tells PEOPLE that \u201cnobody knows what the President will do.\u201d Trump has been known to have had a social relationship with Epstein and his name was listed in Epstein&#8217;s\u00a0flight logs\u00a0released by the attorney general in February.<\/p>\n<p class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_16-0\">The letter from House Democrats further claims Maxwell is receiving \u201cconcierge-style\u201d treatment\u00a0at the minimum-security federal prison camp in Bryan, Texas, where she was\u00a0transferred\u00a0in July, NBC News reported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\">Per the BOP website,\u00a0FPC Bryan\u00a0is described as a facility with \u201cdormitory housing, a relatively low staff-to-inmate ratio, and limited or no perimeter fencing,\u201d compared to the \u201cdouble-fenced perimeters\u201d at FCI Tallahassee, where she was housed before. At the time, a BOP spokesperson would not confirm the reason Maxwell was moved,\u00a0PEOPLE previously reported.<\/p>\n<p class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_22-0\">In a statement shared with PEOPLE, Sigrid McCawley, an attorney who has represented Epstein accusers including\u00a0Virginia Giuffre, said, &#8220;the news of Ghislaine Maxwell seeking a modification to her prison sentence is deeply disturbing and offensive to the survivors of Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. It would be the greatest miscarriage of justice to give any privilege to Maxwell who is a convicted sex offender of young girls.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"comp mntl-sc-block mntl-sc-block-html\" id=\"mntl-sc-block_24-0\"><strong>Want to keep up with the latest crime coverage?

And how do we know that? Because the Democrats had every one of the Epstein files in their possession for the four long years of the Biden Administration,\u201d Speaker Johnson\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor four long years under the previous administration of the Biden-Harris Administration, Democrats insisted there was no border crisis. Remember, they told you that that wasn\u2019t a problem at all. They dismissed inflation as transitory. That\u2019s what they told us. They told the American people not to believe what we could all see with our own eyes, that there was an obvious mental and physical decline on the part of President Biden individually,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cAnd now, seemingly overnight, these same cast of characters, they\u2019ve taken a sudden and urgent interest in the Epstein investigation.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNone of them held press conferences. None of them demanded the release of the documents. And under Biden\u2019s DOJ, when they prosecuted just Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell, not a single one of these Democrats or any of the proponents of the discharge ever made any noise about that at all,\u201d he said. \u201cSo, it\u2019s fair for the American people to ask the question, why now? Why suddenly are they so interested?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis was an unspeakable tragedy, and we have great compassion for the victims,\u201d Johnson said. \u201cThey deserve justice. It has been too long delayed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Dozens of Democratic candidates running for U.S. House seats nationwide told Axios they either would not support House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) for party leader or were not prepared to commit to voting for him.<\/p>\n<p>The responses suggest growing unease within some parts of the Democratic Party about its current leadership as the 2026 election cycle approaches, the outlet\u00a0reported\u00a0this week.<\/p>\n<p>Since assuming the role of Democratic leader in 2022, Hakeem Jeffries has maintained unanimous support within his caucus. That unity, however, may be tested in the next Congress amid rising frustration from grassroots activists, particularly on the party\u2019s left flank.<\/p>\n<p>While Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) has drawn much of the criticism from progressive circles this year, Jeffries is increasingly becoming a focal point of dissatisfaction as well, Axios noted.<\/p>\n<p>Axios contacted nearly every Democrat running for a U.S. House seat considered potentially winnable for the party in 2026, receiving responses from 113 candidates through phone interviews or written statements.<\/p>\n<p>Of those surveyed, 20 said they would not vote for Hakeem Jeffries as speaker or minority leader, while another five indicated they were likely to oppose him. Fifty-seven candidates declined to commit to supporting Jeffries, describing it as too early to decide or citing concerns over ideology, strategy, messaging, or leadership style.<\/p>\n<p>Only 24 respondents said they would definitely back Jeffries, and seven more said they were likely to do so, the outlet said.<\/p>\n<p>However, his office pushed back on the narrative that he\u2019s lost support.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cLeader Jeffries is focused on battling Donald Trump, ending the Republican shutdown of the federal government and addressing the crushing GOP health care crisis,\u201d Jeffries spokesperson Justin Chermol told Axios.<\/p>\n<p>Many of the Democrats expressing skepticism toward Hakeem Jeffries are political outsiders or long-shot candidates, while several front-runners in key battleground races declined to respond to Axios\u2019 inquiries. Still, a number of Jeffries\u2019 critics and noncommittal candidates have credible paths to winning seats in Congress.<\/p>\n<p>Among them are Daniel Biss and Kat Abughazaleh, two leading contenders in the Democratic primary to replace retiring Rep. Jan Schakowsky (D-Ill.), both of whom stopped short of pledging to support Jeffries.<\/p>\n<p>Other prominent challengers \u2014 including Luke Bronin, Donavan McKinney, Mai Vang, Saikat Chakrabarti, and Patrick Roath \u2014 have also withheld their support. Each is running well-funded campaigns aimed at unseating long-serving Democratic incumbents.<\/p>\n<p>Heath Howard, a New Hampshire state representative running for an open U.S. House seat, told Axios regarding the Democratic leader: \u201cI think we need to have a new type of leadership that\u2019s \u2026 going to fight back significantly harder against the Trump administration.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Abughazaleh, meanwhile, told Axios she will support a leader who is \u201ctaking actual action against this administration\u201d and that the left should use \u201cour leverage to demand progressive change.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019ve got to see improvement, without question,\u201d Amanda Edwards, who was a member of the Houston city council and is now running in a Texas special election, told the outlet.<\/p>\n<p>Harry Jarin, a firefighter mounting a primary challenge to former House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md.), told Axios: \u201cThe anger of the base right now is not being matched by Democratic leadership \u2026 and that is going to have to change one way or another.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>A recurring theme among candidates who declined to back Jeffries was his refusal to endorse socialist New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani \u2014 a decision that has also become a source of frustration among left-wing members of Congress.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHis refusal to endorse Zohran makes me nervous that, if I were to become the nominee in my race, he and the party would not support me,\u201d noted Jacob Lawrence, who is set to challenged Rep. Chuck Edwards (R-N.C.).<\/p>\n<p>Chakrabarti, when asked whether he would support for Jeffries, quipped: \u201cWhat is it that Hakeem said about endorsing Zohran? \u2018I\u2019ll have conversations with him and see where it goes.\\\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Whistleblower Describes Maxwell In Prison, Reveals Nothing on Trump Ghislaine Maxwell received preferential treatment while incarcerated at a federal prison in Texas, according to a former nurse at the facility.\u00a0Noella Turnage, who&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":19162,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-19163","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-hot-news"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19163","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=19163"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/19163\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/19162"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=19163"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=19163"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/news2.watchtowatch.top\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=19163"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
