- House oversight committees visit federal prison housing Ghislaine Maxwell to investigate preferential treatment allegations — Staff from the House oversight and judiciary committees visited the minimum-security federal prison camp in Bryan, Texas, on June 17, 2026, to investigate allegations that Ghislaine Maxwell, serving a 20-year sentence for her role in Jeffrey Epstein's sex-trafficking scheme, received preferential treatment. Democratic lawmakers Robert Garcia and Jamie Raskin reported that Bureau of Prisons leadership "repeatedly shut down" questioning and could not provide information about Maxwell's "extraordinary treatment," allegations of sexual assault, and retaliation against whistleblowers. The BOP disputed the characterization, stating it facilitated a transparent visit and addressed topics raised.
