Attorney General William Barr said Monday that there were “serious irregularities” at the Manhattan federal jail where accused Jeffrey Epstein, an accused child sex trafficker, apparently killed himself over the weekend.
“We will get to the bottom of what happened,” Barr vowed in blistering remarks at a police event in New Orleans.
Barr, who said in a statement over the weekend that he was “appalled” by Epstein’s death, also fired a warning shot to anyone who may have been involved in the wealthy financier’s alleged crimes.
