Trump says he ‘didn’t know’ about Ghislaine Maxwell transfer from prison to Texas Club Fed: ‘I read about it just like you’

Donald Trump says that he was not behind the order directing Ghislaine Maxwell’s transfer from a prison facility in Florida to a minimum security facility in Texas dubbed “Club Fed”.

The president claimed on Tuesday that he’d only learned about the prison transfer in news reports.

Epstein died in federal custody in 2019 while awaiting charges for sex trafficking children.
