Epstein's ex Ghislaine Maxwell moved to a low-security Texas prison camp
Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by the disgraced financier, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison AP Washington Jeffrey Epstein's former girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, has been moved from a federal prison in Florida to a prison camp in Texas as her criminal case generates renewed public attention. The federal Bureau of Prisons said Friday that Maxwell had been transferred to Bryan, Texas, but did not explain the circumstances. Her attorney, David Oscar Markus, also confirmed the move but declined to discuss the reasons for it. Maxwell was convicted in 2021 of luring teenage girls to be sexually abused by the disgraced financier, and was sentenced to 20 years in prison. She had been held at a low-security prison in Tallahassee, Florida, until her transfer to the prison camp in Texas, where other inmates include Theranos founder Elizabeth Holmes and Jen Shah of The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City. Minimum-security federal prison camps house inmates the Bureau of Prisons considers to be the lowest security risk. Some don't even have fences. The prison camps were originally designed with low security to make operations easier and to allow inmates tasked with performing work at the prison, like landscaping and maintenance, to avoid repeatedly checking in and out of a main prison facility. Prosecutors have said Epstein's sex crimes could not have been done without Maxwell, but her lawyers have maintained that she was wrongly prosecuted and denied a fair trial, and have floated the idea of a pardon from President Donald Trump. They have also asked the US Supreme Court to take up her case. Trump said Friday night that no one has asked him about clemency for Maxwell. I'm allowed to do it but nobody's asked me to do it," he told Newsmax in an interview broadcast Friday night. "I know nothing about it. I don't know anything about the case, but I know I have the right to do it. I have the right to give pardons, I've given pardons to people before, but nobody's even asked me to do it. Maxwell's case has been the subject of heightened public focus since an outcry over the Justice Department's statement last month saying that it would not be releasing any additional documents from the Epstein sex trafficking investigation. The decision infuriated online sleuths, conspiracy theorists and elements of Trump's base who had hoped to see proof of a government cover-up. Since then, administration officials have tried to cast themselves as promoting transparency in the case, including by requesting from courts the unsealing of grand jury transcripts. Maxwell, meanwhile, was interviewed at a Florida courthouse over two days last week by Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, and the House Oversight Committee had also said that it wanted to speak with Maxwell. Her lawyers said this week that they would be open to an interview, but only if the panel were to ensure immunity from prosecution. In the Newsmax interview, Trump said he did not know when Blanche would disclose to the public what he and Maxwell discussed during the interviews. I think he just wants to make sure that innocent people aren't hurt, but you'd have to speak to him about it, Trump said. In a letter Friday to Maxwell's lawyers, Rep. James Comer, the committee chair, wrote that the committee was willing to delay the deposition until after the resolution of Maxwell's appeal to the Supreme Court. That appeal is expected to be resolved in late September. Comer wrote that while Maxwell's testimony was vital to the Republican-led investigation into Epstein, the committee would not provide immunity or any questions in advance of her testimony, as was requested by her team.

Will Trump pardon Sean ‘Diddy' Combs? Here's why he likely won't
Donald Trump says he's still weighing whether to grant a presidential pardon to Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Trump suggested he might evaluate a pardon for Sean 'Diddy' Combs based on facts and fairness rather than public sentiment. (Reuters/AP) Diddy, who is currently jailed at Brooklyn's Metropolitan Detention Center, was recently found guilty on two out of five federal charges following a closely watched trial in early July. He was acquitted of the most serious accusations, including sex trafficking and racketeering conspiracy. Still, the verdict landed him behind bars, despite multiple requests for bail. Following the verdict, Trump told Newsmax, 'He was celebrating a victory, but he seems, I guess it wasn't as good of a victory.' He called the mixed outcome 'half-innocent.' ALSO READ| Sean 'Diddy' Combs asks judge to throw out guilty verdicts or grant him a new trial Before the verdict, speculation swirled that Trump might be preparing to pardon Diddy. But now that the rapper has formally asked for presidential clemency, Trump appears reluctant. 'Probably — hmm,' he said when asked about it. 'You know, I was very friendly with him. I get along with him great. Seemed like a nice guy. I didn't know him well. But when I ran for office, he was very hostile.' Diddy's past words haunt him as Trump leans 'no' on pardon Interestingly, Trump once attended Diddy's famous parties, and during an episode of Celebrity Apprentice, he even vouched for the rapper when contestant Aubrey O'Day, a former member of Diddy's girl group Danity Kane, seemed hesitant to talk about him. However, Diddy publicly criticized Trump during his presidency in 2020, saying, 'White men like Trump need to be banished.'. 'It's hard, you know, like we're human beings and we don't like to have things cloud our judgment,' the POTUS told Newsmax. 'But when you know something and you were fine and then you run for office and he made some terrible statements, so I don't know… it's more difficult, makes it more difficult, I'm being honest, it makes it more difficult to do.'

'The White House will not confirm or deny pardons that may or may not happen,' a source told Mirror US.

Man arrested for causing scare on UK flight of Bengaluru origin; family indicates history of mental illness
A 41-year-old arrested in Glasgow for creating a scare on an easyJet flight by shouting slogans against US President Donald Trump and chanting 'Allahu Akbar' has been identified as a Bengaluru-origin man suffering from a mental disorder, according to police sources. The family of the man, identified as Abhay Devadas Nayak, has been tracked down in south Bengaluru, sources said. Nayak has been accused of endangering the safety of the easyJet aircraft flying from London Luton Airport to Glasgow on July 27. Nayak belongs to a family involved in the hotel business in Bengaluru. The family hails from the Honnavar region of the Uttara Kannada district. His father is in the hotel business, and his two siblings are doctors working abroad, police sources said after a preliminary probe. Nayak's family has indicated that he is a psychiatric patient diagnosed with schizophrenia, sources said. 'The family said Nayak travelled around the world. His passport was issued in Bengaluru,' a source said. The purported videos of the incident shared on social media show a person standing up mid-flight and raising slogans before he is wrestled down by passengers and members of the cabin crew. The videos show the man shouting 'I am going to bomb the plane', 'Death to America, death to Trump', and 'Allahu Akbar'. After he is wrestled to the ground by passengers, Nayak is heard saying that he raised the slogans since Trump was in Scotland that day, and he wanted to register a protest. 'I want to send a message to Trump,' he is heard saying. 'There are families on this plane,' a passenger is heard telling the man. Nayak also tells the co-passengers that he is a passenger on seat number 11F, that he is a refugee without a passport in the UK, that he has a card for residency in Wales, and that he has no bomb as claimed earlier. The passengers are seen finding an ATM card with the name Abhay in his wallet. 'We were called to a report of a man causing a disturbance on a flight arriving into Glasgow around 8.20 am on Sunday, 27 July, 2025,' the Scotland police said in a statement. Nayak, who was arrested when the flight landed at Glasgow, was presented in a court on Monday and did not plead guilty or not guilty. He is expected to be taken to court again next week. Police sources in Karnataka said that Nayak is likely to be deported to India without charges. Online records show Nayak started a private firm called Antrix Ventures in Bengaluru in 2010 with a family member. Reports from the UK said Nayak, who lived in Luton in Bedfordshire near London, was charged under the UK's Air Navigation Order, including a charge of acting in a reckless or negligent manner to endanger an aircraft, or people in an aircraft.
