The letter demands that the Trump administration “come clean” about “the full scope of Mr. Blanche’s interview of Ms. Maxwell and the sudden decision to transfer her to a minimum security prison camp.” In addition, the lawmakers ask that all relevant documents, transcripts and communications involving the meetings and subsequent move be presented to the House Judiciary Committee by August 26.

Or she'll just hang out on "work release" sipping champagne and dabbing on the criminal justice system for the next four years.

Wouldn't be the first time she's lived her life happily complicit in crimes at the end of a billionaire's leash.

Except this time she ratted some people out. I’m sure there are a number of very dangerous people on her list that are wondering if they exposed. If she dies mysteriously, that is going to raise a lot of questions.

Did she? I guess we'll see if Trump finally decides to send his goons after someone in a high tax bracket.

I guess it’s totally possible she didn’t talk and they said she did. But the problem is, not everyone on that list talks to Trump. Their connection with each other is Epstein, but they may not be friends. So just the accusation of her naming names would be enough for some people – especially considering the nature of her “ Business”

I'll have you know she spent several hours with Trump's goons learning how to pronounce "Mamdani".
