Federal investigators discovered a loaded gun in the Manhattan jail where financier Jeffrey Epstein committed suicide last year.
Investigators with the Bureau of Prisons began searching the facility last week after receiving information that a loaded gun had been smuggled inside the jail, a serious violation of security, according to the Associated Press. The bureau has faced significant pressure to improve its security practices after Epstein, who was facing charges of rape and sex trafficking, was found dead in his cell on Aug. 10.
Attorney General William Barr named a new Bureau of Prisons director last week: Michael Carvajal, a nearly 30-year veteran of the agency. Carvajal replaced Hugh Hurwitz, who Barr removed in August during the fallout over Epstein’s suicide.
