Ghislaine Maxwell moved to federal prison camp in Texas | CNN Politics Jeffrey Epstein accomplice Ghislaine Maxwell, who had been serving a 20-year prison sentence in Florida, has been moved to a lower-security federal prison camp in Texas.

Sugar23 Partners With Audible For Investigative Podcast On Sinking Of The SS El Faro An SS El Faro podcast from Sugar23 and Audible, examining the sinking of the cargo ship, is slated for release in August, Deadline has learned.

This is really exciting! My sister @maevemcgoran.bsky.social's podcast about the sinking of the SS El Faro drops August 7. I've listened to some of it and it is fascinating, compelling, and at times harrowing. Can't wait to hear the rest!
