Rep. Jamie Raskin (D-MD) has recently found himself at the center of a major scandal, with allegations that he attempted to cover up his involvement to save himself. According to a report from The Gateway Pundit, Ghislaine Maxwell’s attorney, Leah Saffian, confirmed that multiple federal prison staffers were fired for illegally accessing Maxwell’s privileged attorney-client emails. These emails were then reportedly leaked directly to Congressman Raskin, who used them to blast the information to the media as political propaganda.
### Key Allegations from Leah Saffian:
– Prison employees at FPC Bryan broke into Maxwell’s email system.
– They stole confidential attorney communications.
– These stolen emails were passed on to a federal official—Rep. Jamie Raskin.
– Raskin then leaked the emails to the press, framing the leak under the false label of a ‘whistleblower.’
Maxwell’s attorney directly called out Raskin for falsely implying that Maxwell was seeking a pardon. According to Saffian, this claim was simply untrue.
As ABC News notes, Raskin previously accused the Trump administration of “a corrupt misuse of law-enforcement resources.” He demanded that Deputy U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche testify before the House Judiciary Committee to respond to what he described as “corrupt misuse of law enforcement resources and potential exchange of favors for false testimony exonerating you and other Epstein accomplices.”
Leah Saffian clarified that Maxwell has never sought a pardon, nor has she asked former President Trump or anyone else to intervene on her behalf. Instead, her petition focuses solely on exposing alleged misconduct, not on seeking clemency.
### Raskin’s Response
Following the revelation, Raskin addressed the situation in an interview with MSNBC on Friday. As expected, he appeared to downplay the allegations, stating:
“This is very strange to me, that there are employees who’ve been fired because of what they’ve done. I’m curious how they would know that. Uh, that sounds like a breach of whatever employee’s personnel records are.
The allegation appears to be that her attorney-client privilege was somehow compromised in the TruLink system. We’re not saying where we got any information that we received. And it may not even be from the people that she’s talking about.”
### Conclusion
The controversy raises serious questions about the breach of attorney-client privilege and the role of public officials in handling sensitive information. As this story develops, further details may shed light on the extent of the misconduct and the accountability of those involved.
