NEW YORK (AP) — Attorney General William Barr said Monday that there were “serious irregularities” at the federal jail where Jeffrey Epstein took his own life as he awaited trial on charges he sexually abused underage girls.
The 66-year-old financier was found Saturday morning in his cell at the chronically short-staffed Metropolitan Correctional Center, in a unit known for holding notorious prisoners under extremely tight security.
“I was appalled, and indeed the whole department was, and frankly angry to learn of the MCC’s failure to adequately secure this prisoner,” Barr said at a police conference in New Orleans. “We are now learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation. The FBI and the office of inspector general are doing just that.”
He added: “We will get to the bottom of what happened and there will be accountability.”
The manner in which Epstein killed himself has not been announced. An autopsy was performed Sunday, but New York City Chief Medical Examiner Dr. Barbara Sampson said investigators were awaiting further information.
A private pathologist, Dr. Michael Baden, observed the autopsy at the request of Epstein’s lawyers. Baden was the city’s chief medical examiner in the late 1970s and has been called as an expert witness in high-profile cases, including O.J. Simpson’s 1994 murder trial.

You mean like a dead body?
“I was appalled, and indeed, the whole department was – and frankly, angry – to learn of MCC’s failure to adequately secure this prisoner,” Barr said Monday. “We are now learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation.”
Barr is STILL appalled.
AG: Asshat Goofball?
To the AG, I say, “No $hit, Sherlock!”
No Shiite Sherlock.
So, our country’s worst and most dangerous criminals are held in a “chronically short staffed facility”?
That’s good to know...
“I’m shocked, shocked that there’s hornswaggling, chicanery and shenanigans going on in these very historic Court Chambers!!”
He is appalled.
Janet Reno was appalled too.
barr is part of the problem.
Empty words until proven otherwise.
Warden Shirley Skipper-Scott
At least he’s saying something.
Mistakes were made.
Letitia James is the NYS Attorney General, no?
Why isn’t she taking action on getting to the bottom of the ‘suicide’? Seems that it is not necessary for AG Barr to get involved - yet at least.
Maybe Barr should instead get to work on designating antifa as a domestic terrorist group.
With RATS, so there mere mitigating circumstances, you see, and he really did need to die, of course, — for ‘Rats and Hussein Head Republicans alike.
And the children.
Irregularities, sad, but let’s investigate and move on.
Right, domestic enemies???
I was thinking it. I was soooooooooooooooooooooo thinking it.
Or get those long-since promised unredacted FISA documents out into the public eye.
Do you have any other information about her, like when she was appointed an by whom? A link would be really helpful. Thanks.
