BRYAN, Texas — Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney says employees at Federal Prison Camp Bryan were fired for improperly accessing and leaking her emails, disclosures that sparked congressional scrutiny and national media attention. In a statement responding to materials released by House Judiciary Committee Democrats, attorney Leah Saffian denied that Maxwell is seeking a commutation or pardon and called the leak a violation of attorney-client privilege. Democrats had circulated an email from Maxwell labeled “commutation application,” along with whistleblower claims that the inmate has enjoyed “concierge-style” treatment since her transfer to the minimum-security facility.
The Hill reported it could not verify whether any Bureau of Prisons (BOP) employees were terminated. A spokesperson for Committee Democrats declined to discuss personnel matters but said any attempts to intimidate whistleblowers would be unacceptable and vowed continued oversight. Their letter alleged Maxwell received custom meals, access to staff-only areas, after-hours solo gym time, a cordoned visitor area with refreshments, and permission for guests to bring computers—accommodations not typically allowed.
Saffian argued the leaked emails were “illegally obtained,” while Democrats countered that BOP’s TRULINCS email system requires users to consent to monitoring and retrieval. In a separate statement, BOP said any preferential treatment violates policy and that allegations of misconduct are investigated through internal processes. Maxwell, convicted in 2021 on sex-trafficking charges related to Jeffrey Epstein, is serving a 20-year sentence.
