Why Did Trump Move Sex Predator?

News broke that officials from the Federal Bureau of Prisons had quietly moved Epstein’s associate Ghislaine Maxwell from the Florida prison where she was being held while she served a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking to a new minimum-security prison camp in Texas.

According to Michael Kosnar and Raquel Coronell Uribe of NBC News, the Bureau of Prisons’s own designation policy makes Maxwell ineligible for transfer to a minimum-security prison camp because she is a convicted sex offender.

The only person who can grant a waiver to that policy is the administrator of the Bureau of Prisons Designation and Sentence Computation Center.

Meanwhile, Trump attempted another distraction when he arbitrarily fired Dr. Erika McEntarfer, the commissioner of the Bureau of Labor Statistics. He falsely accused her, without any evidence, of manipulating the monthly jobs reports for “political purposes.”  The jobs report showed the weakest pace of hiring for any three-month period since Trump was President in the 2020 recession.
