In a letter to the White House, Democrats said Maxwell is preparing a formal clemency request “for your direct consideration,” alleging that prison officials at the Bryan Federal Prison Camp in Texas are assisting her with the application.
The lawmakers also accused the facility’s staff of giving Maxwell “concierge-style treatment,” including special meals, private visits, and computer access, raising concerns about preferential treatment.
