A report claims Maxwell’s attorney alleges that certain prison staff members were dismissed after supposedly leaking her privileged emails to a prominent Democratic figure, raising concerns about internal misconduct and breaches of confidential legal communications.

Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney, Leah Saffian, has alleged serious misconduct by multiple federal prison employees and by Rep.

Jamie Raskin following the discovery that Maxwell’s confidential, privileged attorney-client emails were accessed and leaked. According to Saffian, staff at Federal Prison Camp Bryan improperly entered Maxwell’s TRULINCS email system, the platform inmates use for monitored communication, and extracted messages exchanged between Maxwell and her legal team.

This information, she said, was then transmitted to a federal official—identified as Raskin—who subsequently provided the material to members of the media. Saffian framed the unauthorized access as a gross violation of constitutional protections, insisting that it represented not only improper behavior by prison officials but also a breach of legal ethics by a member of Congress who should have known the gravity of releasing such material.

Saffian emphasized that the misconduct was not speculative; rather, she confirmed that employees had already been terminated for their roles in accessing and disseminating the emails. She argued that the act of passing confidential correspondence to a congressional office and then to the press amounted to a direct violation of the First Amendment’s protections surrounding the confidentiality of communications, the Sixth Amendment’s guarantee of effective legal counsel, and the Fourteenth Amendment’s due process protections. In her view, these foundational rights were compromised the moment prison staff chose to intrude into Maxwell’s communications and when Raskin’s office chose to make those communications public, especially without ensuring the legitimacy of the source or the legality of the acquisition.
