BREAKING NEWS: Bondi Asked Straight-Up Who Had Ghislaine Maxwell Moved To Minimum Security Prison 

the unanimous consent. >> Yes, please. >> All right. The gentle is recognized. >> Mr. Chair, I have a few unanimous unanimous consent requests. I would like to submit into the record this New York Times article titled, “Alex P Freddy’s friends and family denounce sickening lies about his life.

 I also would like to submit this Daily Mail exclusive interview with uh Vice President JD Vance titled JD Vance refuses to apologize to Alex Py’s family after spreading ICE assassin claim.” One more. My last submission request is a New York Times article titled FBI agent who tried to investigate ICE officer in shooting resigns.

 Without >> objection. >> Thank you. >> Uh the chair now recognizes the gentle lady from North Carolina. >> Uh thank you, Mr. Chairman. >> Attorney General Bondi, I think you and pretty much everybody else here and throughout the country believes that convicted sex offenders don’t deserve special treatment or privileges in prison.

 And yet, Galileain Maxwell, Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirator, received perk after perk in prison. In July, she had a two-day interview with your deputy and President Trump’s former defense attorney, Todd Blanch. Just days after that, Maxwell was transferred from a federal correctional institution in Florida to a minimum security camp in Texas, which she as a sex offender would normally be ineligible for.

 At this new facility, as the ranking member talked about, um, and by the way, it’s nicknamed clubfed. We’ve heard reports that she’s been afforded special privileges, puppy time, private workouts, personal mail, secretarial services. Um, Attorney General Bondi, does a convicted sex offender like Elaine Maxwell deserve special treatment and prison in and privileges in prison? Yes or no? >> Let me be crystal clear on this. No.

 And let me let me let me keep going. No, let me keep going. >> Perfect. Well, I >> I did not know she was transferred. I asked you yes or no. was not transferred to a lower. >> Mr. Chairman, please stop the clock and remind the witness of the rules. One rule she needs to understand. >> I’m glad that we’re agreeing.

 So, when we’re agreeing, we can move on to some other things. But I want you to know that every time she does get these perks and it’s been publicly reported that her the folks she’s abused, the survivors who are sitting here, they see themselves as being denied justice. They feel retraumatized.

 And I’m glad that we agree on that, but she should not be in that prison >> and she needs to be moved back to a maximum security prison as as soon as possible. But what she has told another committee here is that she won’t cooperate with them unless she gets clemency from Donald Trump. It’s just crazy to consider that she can be wielding this kind of influence within the administration.

But that begs the question, who ordered her to be transferred to the minimum security prison that she was ineligible for? Who signed off on the special privileges? Was it Mr. Blanch? Was it one of your other subordinates? So, please can you tell us who sent her there since you don’t agree she should be there? I said I do not agree she should receive special treatment.

She was transferred I learned after the fact to the same level facility and that is a question for the Bureau of Prisons. I was not involved in that at all. The same level facility. I don’t know why, but you know, instead of talking about Gerling Maxwell, who hopefully will die in prison, hopefully will die in prison, you should be talking about Arena Zerutka.

>> I have a couple of >> died on a subway, >> right? And I absolutely >> You don’t talk about that. >> I have been talking about it and actually helping with these issues. But we’re going to move back to you. >> I bet we are. >> Yes, of course. Because you’re here to testify. That’s what the whole point of this endeavor is.

 So, of course, we’re moving back to you. It is all about you. So, as we’ve heard, she she took the fifth in response to every single question in that committee hearing and her lawyer dangled the offer of clemency. Should Donald Trump pardon or commute her sentence? Should she be released from prison? Yes or no? You said you hope she dies there, so I’m hoping the answer is no.

 I already answered that question. >> Good. I’m very glad. I really like this bipartisan agreement about agrees with you. But you don’t want to talk about Ireina Zerutka. You don’t want to talk about >> I talk about murdered by a violent crime of >> But I am not here to testify before Congress. You are. That is your job today.

 That’s what you’re getting >> with attack. Um, I want you to know that your your your own um DOJ employee, he’s recently been demoted and had some other problems, advises on pardons. Do you think he will be advising Mr. Trump on any kind of clemency or pardon for Galain Maxwell? I am not going to speculate. And you couldn’t even identify properly.

 That’s why you don’t want to talk about Ireina Zerutka. you couldn’t properly identify her relative. >> I absolutely embarrassing have been and her family by the way appreciates all of the condolences, all of the help, everything that our law enforcement in North Carolina has been doing to help her family.

 Her family feels well treated. Thank you and I yield back. Gentle lady yields back. Gentleman from California is recognized. I’d ask unanimous consent to enter into the record an article by former Attorney General William P.
