Ghislaine Maxwell ‘Collaborating With Feds’

Ghislaine Maxwell appears to be doing all she can to avoid her 20-year prison sentence, including linking up with the FBI to take down Jeffrey Epstein‘s high-profile collaborators, Knewz.com can reveal. The disgraced madame hasn’t had the best time behind bars, with a previous source claiming she was starving.

Investigative reporter Tara Palmeri appeared on “The Daily Beast Podcast” and discussed what she believes Maxwell’s future holds… and it’s a positive outlook for the 63-year-old. “I think she’s probably helping them right now,” Palmeri told Joanna Coles during the interview. “I don’t think she’s going to spend all 20 years in jail.” According to the journalist, the prosecutors are still working on cases against the “Johns,” powerful men accused of abusing girls trafficked by Epstein and Maxwell. And now? Maxwell is said to be doing her part to take down her former clients.

“They can’t let her out right now, there would be public outrage,” Palmeri said. “But [when] nobody’s paying attention, story’s gone away, a few years, Ghislaine’s out, or ends up in some nice prison. This is what I’ve been told by law enforcement sources.” Maxwell was arrested in July 2020 and found guilty of trafficking. She is serving out her sentence at the low-security FCI Tallahassee prison in Florida but was previously at the Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, where Sean ‘”Diddy” Combs currently resides after being denied bail.

Pameri claimed there is video and photo proof collected from Epstein’s residence during a search that could have a massive impact on some of the most high-profile men. “When they first raided [Epstein’s house] for the 2006 case, they found a lot of cameras everywhere,” Palmeri said. “I think he was using that information as ‘kompromat’ to build his business, to make money.” Kompromat is compromising material used to blackmail and control individuals, many of whom were associated with the late predator. The material is said to be so graphic, it may lead to a reopening of Maxwell’s case. “If prosecutors release the footage, Maxwell’s lawyers could pounce. That’s why they’re slow-rolling it. But I’ve been told they’re still building cases,” Palmeri said. “I don’t think she’ll spend 20 years in jail. She has cards to play.” Maxwell is looking for her freedom, all while FCI Tallahassee is under the spotlight for its deplorable conditions following a Department of Justice report in 2024.

“The inmates have been told the Bureau of Prisons has run out of money, and Maxwell and the others have been left starving,” an insider previously said. “Portion sizes have been cut from eight ounces to two ounces. Maxwell has gone without food for five days at a time. The prison says it can’t afford to buy the vegetarian diet plan she’s on.” Epstein was cuffed a year before Maxwell but died while awaiting trial. Many conspiracy theorists believe he was murdered. President Donald Trump’s Justice Department and FBI have already confirmed Epstein “wasn’t murdered in a cover-up,” and they also claimed there was no “blackmail client list,” as previously believed. During the investigation, footage of Epstein’s cell between about 10:40 p.m. on August 9, 2019 and 6:30 a.m. the next day, when he was found dead, was examined by both teams. “The FBI enhanced the relevant footage by increasing its contrast, balancing the color and improving its sharpness for greater clarity and viewability,” the memo stated.
