President Trump said Tuesday that he didn’t know about Jeffrey Epstein associate Ghislaine Maxwell’s recent prison transfer before it happened.

“Were you aware of and did you personally approve the prison transfer for Ghislaine Maxwell that your Justice Department —” Trump was asked by CNN’s Kaitlan Collins.

Maxwell was quietly moved from a federal prison in Florida to one in Texas, a Bureau of Prisons official told The Hill last week.

“Ghislaine Maxwell is in the custody of the Bureau of Prisons (BOP) at the Federal Prison Camp (FPC) Bryan in Bryan, Texas,” Benjamin O’Cone said in an email to The Hill.

In recent weeks, the Trump administration has been facing intense backlash over how it has handled information related to Epstein, the convicted sex offender who died in 2019. The backlash has come from both MAGA faithful and left-wing progressives.

Maxwell, who was convicted of sex trafficking and is currently serving a 20-year prison sentence, has recently been appealing her case to the Supreme Court and spoke with Justice Department officials regarding her knowledge of Epstein’s crimes.

Victims of Epstein questioned the Trump administration’s motives for looking to unseal grand jury testimony in letters to the court unveiled Monday.
