Convicted child sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell is writing home about how “happy,” “safe,” and “comfortable” she is in her cushy federal prison camp or a so-called “Club Fed.”

Meanwhile, the girls she helped abuse are still living (and dying) from the trauma.

A thread 🧵 🔥

Carolyn Andriano was 14 when she was recruited into Maxwell and Epstein’s trafficking.

She testified in 2021 at Maxwell’s trial, that she had been addicted to "pain pills and cocaine" and that she had taken them "to block out" Epstein's sexual abuse.

She died in 2019, reportedly from a drug overdose.Image

Skye Patrick was 16 when she was first trafficked by Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell. She struggled with addiction and trauma from the abuse.
She died in 2017 reportedly from a drug overdose.

Virginia Giuffre was first trafficked at 16. She became the face of the survivors fight for justice. She reportedly died by suicide in April 2025 — confirmed by her brother Sky.
Her memoir, Nobody’s Girl, was just released. In it, she details the horrors she endured. Image
5/
These girls didn’t die at Epstein’s island.
They died years later — because the trauma never left them.
Because systems protected the powerful instead of them.

And yet, Ghislaine Maxwell says she feels “happy” and “safe.”
She paints. She does yoga. She writes letters about her peace of mind.

After reportedly giving two days of “interviews” to Trump’s former personal attorney, Todd Blanche, Ghislaine Maxwell was moved to this lower-security prison camp.

Transcripts from these interviews are publicly available (I’ll link at end of thread) not only does she sound unrepentant and completely without remorse, she also tries to discredit survivors on the record.

Maxwell is a convicted child sex trafficker — so why is she still being given a platform to undermine and discredit the very women she was found guilty of abusing?

Why does she get comfort, a microphone, and a narrative — while her survivors get trauma, silence, or the grave?

Survivors are outraged and have received no answers from Trump’s administration about the transfer. They told me that they found out about their traffickers transfer to Bryan from the news. No one informed them ahead of time or sought their input.Image
9/
How many more survivors have to die before the powerful are held accountable?

Only one person—Maxwell—has been charged. And she’s sitting in comfort, giving interviews, still smearing victims.

This was a global child trafficking ring involving minors. The DOJ has the files. The names are there.
So why are they still protected?

Release the Epstein Files. Send Maxwell back to proper prison to finish her sentence, as survivors have asked.

They did name names.

Survivors provided names of men and women who abused them or enabled their trafficking and abuse, in depositions, lawsuits, interviews, books, and in court.

They spoke.
They testified.
They told the world.
Two accused died of “suicide” in prison.
At least three known victims have died of drug overdoses or suicide.

And somehow, the question people keep asking is:
“Why won’t the survivors release the list?” when the real question should be:
“Why has nothing been done to the people already named?”

Power heard them.
Power ignored them.Image
Instead of being protected, Virginia Giuffre was sued by at least one of the powerful men she named.

Dershowitz and Giuffre were locked in litigation for years that ended in no money exchanged and she issued a statement saying she may have misidentified him.

The accused didn’t face investigation.

They hired elite PR firms and legal teams and went after survivors. Not the pedophiles, the traffickers, not the abusers.Image
I’m sure the troll farms will soon be all over this thread and I may have to limit comments but I’ll try to leave it open as long as I can for discussion.

🚨 BREAKING: State lawmakers in New Mexico are pushing to create a “truth commission” to investigate alleged crimes at Jeffrey Epstein’s Zorro Ranch —nearly seven years after Jeffrey Epstein’s death and despite the property having been sold. Image
🧵 1
The ranch (a sprawling, remote estate once owned by Epstein in Santa Fe County) was sold in 2023 by his estate as part of a “fire sale.”
2
Lawmakers, led by Rep. Andrea Romero (D-Santa Fe), say survivors signalled abuse and trafficking activity at the ranch and that the state still lacks a full record of “what occurred or how officials responded.”

🚨UPDATE
A federal judge in the James Comey case said newly-appointed prosecutor Lindsey Halligan must turn over a full transcript of grand jury indictment proceedings, including her own statements. Image
1
This comes after Comey moved to dismiss the case, arguing selective/vindictive prosecution and claiming the prosecutor, Lindsey Halligan, was unlawfully appointed.
2
James Comey was indicted in late September on charges of making false statements and obstructing a congressional proceeding. He has pleaded not guilty.

His legal team argues the case is political retaliation from President Donald Trump.

Comey’s team argues Halligan, a former personal Trump attorney, was improperly installed as interim U.S. Attorney after Erik Siebert resigned under White House pressure and therefore the indictment is invalid.

🚨 BREAKING:
There was an active federal investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s alleged co-conspirators all the way until September 2025 — and then it abruptly stopped.
Now a Maryland lawmaker, Rep. Jamie Raskin, is demanding answers from the DOJ about who shut it down and why. Image
1
Raskin sent a formal letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi asking why the DOJ ended the probe after survivors, prosecutors, and FBI agents spent years building it, only to have it suddenly transferred to DOJ headquarters and halted.

Photo of Raskin Image

In his words:

“Why has the DOJ abandoned the women and girls abused by Mr. Epstein, Ms. Maxwell, and their co-conspirators… and ceased its investigation into one of the largest sex trafficking rings in history?”

🚨 BREAKING
Confirmed what I called out yesterday when I exposed “journalist” Jay Beecher for smearing Virginia Giuffre.
He was paid to do it. 🔥 I will find them all and call them out. For survivors. ✊🏼🖤
A thread
According to The Times, Beecher was paid £80,000, funded by Brian Basham (Ghislaine Maxwell’s PR ally) to help create a book aimed at discrediting Virginia.

“It’s a terrible thing that’s happened to the family… I feel badly for them.”

President Donald Trump expressed sympathy not for survivors and victims of Epstein, but for King Charles and the British royal family as they try to contain the fallout from Andrew’s ties to Jeffrey Epstein.

Photo not my own, taken during reporter questionsImage
1
His comments came just days after King Charles took decisive action and stripped Andrew of his royal title and removed him from official royal duties. Image
2
Why now? The pressure. The royals have long known about the allegations from Virginia Giuffre about Andrew. They knew a young woman claimed he had sexually abused her and that she was trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell.
Still, it took newly uncovered emails showing Andrew tried to “catch up” with Epstein only months after Epstein was released from prison.
And it took Virginia speaking up one final time (her memoir was punished after her death earlier this year.)
