On the morning of Jeffrey Epstein's death there was shouting and shrieking from his jail cell, a source familiar with the situation told CBS News. Corrections officers attempted to revive him while saying "breathe, Epstein, breathe."
Congress is the latest to start investigating Epstein's apparent suicide over the weekend, with new reports raising questions about the federal jail where he was being held. One of Epstein's guards at the Metropolitan Correctional Center on the night he died was reportedly not a regular corrections officer.
On Monday, Attorney General William Barr criticized the detention center where the disgraced financier was held. "We will get to the bottom of what happened and there will be accountability," Barr said. "I was appalled and frankly angry to learn of the MCC's failure to adequately secure this prisoner."
Government investigators raided the alleged sex trafficker's private island in the Virgin Islands Monday.
With Epstein gone, potential co-conspirators involved in his alleged sex-trafficking network are shifting into focus. British socialite Ghislaine Maxwell is one of four women accused of recruiting underage girls for sex. She's denied those claims in the past and has not been charged with a crime. Maxwell is said to be Epstein's ex-girlfriend turned business associate. Her current location is unknown.
"She was more of a partner in his obsession, really," said Miami Herald reporter Julie Brown, who spent more than two years looking into Epstein's controversial 2008 plea deal. "And there are allegations that she was involved in having sex with some of these girls as well."
Court documents from 2011 reveal Epstein controlled several apartments in a building just blocks from his $77 million New York townhouse and allegedly housed "underage girls from all over the world."

I think the photos are fake. By that I mean the arrangement. Each photo is real, but the one submitted/purported to be Epstein was never, in its original context, held to be the same person. Fake news is not the sole domain of the left.
Barr wanted him there.
So who took the photo of the guy with hook nose on the stretcher? DOJ gave us no info so how is that photo released?
Your guess is as good as mine. We don’t know. I’m just saying, in this day and age there is very little I trust, this being a case in point. Will there be an investigation? Would you trust whoever reported back on it? If so, on what basis?
That is not an unreasoable assumption. Do you have any documentation to support it?
I read it somewhere that they wanted to put him in a nyc jail but Barr insisted in federal place probably as more secure.
I would count it as neglect or malfeasance that more attention was not given to the placement and oversight process. How much Barr had to do with the MCC location as opposed to a place of confinement more diligent in duty, I will never know.
It truly is the way of the world, with all its power and wealth, to subvert justice.
Yes very disheartening.
