Bondi Lies To Congress, Tells Them Maxwell Was Not Transferred To A 'Lower-Level Facility' [View all]

Bondi’s answer came in response to a question from Deborah Ross, a Democratic committee member from North Carolina, who asked her: “Does a convicted sex offender like Ghislaine Maxwell deserve special treatment in prison and special privileges in prison?” Bondi answered: “I did not know she was being transferred, and she was not transferred to a lower-level facility.”

Later, she repeated twice, falsely, that Maxwell was transferred to a “same level” prison.

It is unclear how Bondi could not know about the transfer, given that the Bureau of Prisons comes under her agency’s purview, and her “same level” assertion is demonstrably false. Even in a low-security prison like Tallahassee Federal Correctional Institution, inmates sleep in prison cells behind tall, razor-topped fencing. There is a section at Bryan with no fence at all, and inmates there sleep in dormitories.Maxwell herself told a relative after her middle-of-the-night transfer that she was overjoyed with her new home.

“The food is legions better, the place is clean, the staff responsive and polite — I haven’t seen or heard the usual foul language or screaming accompanied by threats leveled at inmates by anyone,” she wrote a week after her arrival. “I feel like I have dropped through Alice in Wonderlands looking glass. I am much, much happier here and more importantly safe.”

And that was certainly not the only lie she told. Another whopper she hurled was that there was no evidence in the files that Trump committed a crime (at which point Representative Ted Lieu put up a witness statement from the Epstein files about Trump raping a girl: https://youtube.com/shorts/HXC3qTcdR3M?si=J-ehUM6HlVyN9vqH).

I realize that she will not face any consequences right now, since Trump’s DOJ would never prosecute her. However, the statute of limitations for lying to Congress, generally charged under 18 U.S.C. § 1001 (false statements) or 18 U.S.C. § 1621 (perjury), is five years from the date the false statement was made. This means federal prosecutors must initiate charges within this five-year period. 

2029 is coming.
