Overview
- Attorney Leah Saffian said employees at Federal Prison Camp Bryan were terminated for unauthorized access to the BOP TRULINCS system after a whistleblower shared Maxwell’s messages with Rep. Jamie Raskin.
- Committee Democrats defended publishing the records, asserting the monitored TRULINCS emails are not protected by attorney‑client privilege and declining to identify the whistleblower.
- Raskin’s letter, citing whistleblower materials, alleged Maxwell received special treatment in custody, including hand‑delivered meals, guests sending emails on her behalf, warden assistance, and time with a service dog in training.
- Emails described by Raskin indicated Maxwell was working on a commutation application and planned to send materials through the warden, though her lawyer says no formal commutation request has been filed.
- Saffian called the disclosures improper, said new evidence underpins a pending habeas petition for judicial relief, and argued staff faced consequences for breaching the prison email system.
