## Ghislaine Maxwell Death Threats Lead to Special Ops Deployment

Authored by nysun.com

‘There have been death threats received,’ a source close to the investigation tells The New York Sun.

Jeffrey Epstein’s longtime paramour and closest associate, Ghislaine Maxwell, has received death threats since her surprise transfer to a minimum-security prison camp at Bryan, Texas, prompting federal corrections officials to call in the Bureau of Prisons’ Counter Terrorism and Special Operations units to considerably beef up its security at the facility, The New York Sun has learned.

“There have been death threats received,” a source close to the investigation tells the Sun.

“They are focused on the outside looking in, as opposed to the happenings inside the camp.”.

Members of the BOP’s Special Operations Response Team have been working around the Federal Prison Camp Bryan’s entrance and perimeter to monitor outside threats against Maxwell.

The BOP has also deployed its Counter Terrorism Unit, typically used to monitor the communications and activities for “terrorist offenders” incarcerated in its system, to monitor threats inside Camp Bryan.

Both teams have been working inside Camp Bryan since Maxwell’s transfer there last week. »
