Maxwell's move to the Federal Prison Camp comes a week after she met with the deputy U.S. Attorney General, who said he wanted to speak with her about anyone else who may have been involved in Epstein's crimes.

The transfer happened as Maxwell, an accomplice of the late sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein, seeks a deal with a Trump administration eager to tamp down a furor over its refusal to release its files on Epstein.

The move comes a week after Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, met a top Justice Department official about the Epstein case.
