Ghislaine Maxwell, the convicted associate of late financier Jeffrey Epstein, has been moved from a Florida prison to a minimum-security facility in Texas, authorities have confirmed.
The move comes as Maxwell, who is serving a 20-year sentence for sex trafficking, has pressed the Supreme Court to overturn her conviction while also seeking a pardon from President Donald Trump.
Earlier in July, Maxwell held two meetings with US Deputy US Attorney General, the details of which have not been made public.
Maxwell has been at the centre of controversy surrounding the Trump administration's handling of the Epstein files, and the reasons for her transfer from the Florida prison are unclear.
While speculation has been rife that Trump may pardon Maxwell, the White House has previously said "no leniency is being given or discussed".
