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.

Maxwell was recently transferred to a minimum-security prison in Bryan, Texas, days after meeting with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche. Maxwell's lawyer did not give a reason why she was moved and the Department of Justice declined a request for comment from the Washington Post, which first reported on the transfer.
