The officials running Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell's prison dodge questioning from visiting congressional staff, according to reporting by Politico.

Maxwell transferred from a prison in Florida to the minimum-security Federal Prison Camp in Bryan, Texas. Politico noted that Democrats have wondered whether her transfer to a "cushier" facility was part of a deal to keep her quiet about Trump's ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Whistleblowers have alleged that officials running the Texas prison have gone out of their way to make Maxwell's life easier behind bars, and staff for the House Oversight and Judiciary Committees paid a visit to the facility on Tuesday to find out.

Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) and Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA), the ranking members of the two committees, said in a statement that their staff was there for "answers about Ms. Maxwell's unprecedented transfer and VIP treatment," Politico reported. However, during the three-hour visit, congressional staff weren't able to gather much from the warden or facility staff. The warden argued that Maxwell wasn't really given special treatment, according to Politico.
