Overview
- Emails obtained by NBC News via the House Judiciary Committee show Maxwell wrote on August 8 that she felt safe and was “much much happier” at Bryan Federal Prison Camp in Texas.
- Rep. Jamie Raskin cited reporting and inmate accounts alleging private meetings, meal delivery to her dormitory, and other perks that he described as “VIP treatment.”
- Raskin’s letter to Warden Tanisha Hall also raised claims that inmates faced retaliation after complaining about Maxwell’s preferential treatment.
- One email detailed the warden assisting with expedited Supreme Court filings, which a defense attorney familiar with the facility called a rare occurrence.
- Maxwell’s lawyer, David Oscar Markus, condemned the publication of her emails as tabloid behavior and argued the messages were private.
