Ghislaine Maxwell, the co-conspirator of the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, is in the process of seeking a commutation of her 20-year prison sentence from President Donald Trump, a whistleblower has told House Democrats. <\/p>\n

The whistleblower came forward with the information to Democrats on the House Judiciary Committee and also alleges Maxwell is getting preferential treatment in prison.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am struggling to keep it all together as it is big and there are so many attachments,\u201d Maxwell wrote in an e-mail to her attorney, Leaf Saffian, which was reviewed by NBC News. The subject line of the email reads \u201ccommutation application.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a letter to Trump on Monday, House Judiciary Committee Ranking Member Jamie Raskin, D-Md., demanded the administration release information about the commutation application and called on Trump to reject her request. <\/p>\n

\u201cYou should not grant any form of clemency to this convicted and unrepentant sex offender,\u201d Raskin wrote. \u201cYour Administration should not be providing her with room service, with puppies to play with, with federal law enforcement officials waiting on her every need, or with any special treatment or institutional privilege at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Raskin requested that Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche appear for a public congressional hearing to discuss the revelations.<\/p>\n

According to the whistleblower, whose identity the committee has not revealed, Maxwell has received what was described as \u201cconcierge-style\u201d treatment at the minimum security prison camp that she was transferred to, including customized meals, permission to go to the exercise area after hours, and time to play with a puppy that was being trained by an inmate to become a service dog, among other things. <\/p>\n

The whistleblower also claimed that a top official at the prison camp complained he is \u201csick of having to be Maxwell\u2019s bitch.\u201d<\/p>\n

NBC News has reached out to Maxwell’s attorney and the White House for comment. <\/p>\n
