New York Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D) led public calls Saturday demanding answers after disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein was found dead in his Manhattan jail cell due to an apparent suicide.
"We need answers. Lots of them," Ocasio-Cortez, a member of the House Oversight and Reform Committee, tweeted.
Multiple media outlets reported Saturday that Epstein's body was discovered in his jail cell around 7:30 a.m. at the Metropolitan Correctional Center.
Many immediately began questioning the details surrounding his death after Epstein was reportedly put on suicide watch in late July following a possible suicide attempt.
"He reportedly tried to kill himself two weeks ago. And is allowed to finish the job now? Bull----," MSNBC host Joe Scarborough tweeted.
The MCC did not immediately return requests for comment from The Hill on Saturday morning.
Epstein was in prison awaiting trial over charges of sexually trafficking minors, to which he had pleaded not guilty.
His suicide comes a day after testimony was released from one of his alleged victims that unveiled the inner workings of his alleged operation.
Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-Fla.), who sits on the Judiciary Committee, called on the panel's chairman, Rep. Jerrold Nadler (D-N.Y.), to prioritize investigating the circumstances around Epstein's death over other probes being carried out by the committee.
"Chairman @RepJerryNadler should prioritize a Judiciary investigation into how Jeffrey Epstein died in federal custody (in Nadler's own neighborhood!) over the Kavanaugh confirmation (which already happened), and the Russia hoax (which never happened)," Gaetz tweeted.
Epstein served 13 months in jail about 10 years ago after reaching a deal with prosecutors that has been panned as too lenient. He was arrested in July and charged with trafficking underage girls from 2002 to 2005.

No kidding -
“Today AOC was found dead after shooting herself with an AR-15 in her bedroom. A suicide note found nearby detailed that people would never understand her sincerity after her campaign manager was accused of embezzlement and that she hoped her demonstration of gun violence would be used as one last act to enforce gun control. The AR-15 she shot herself with was found in the kitchen.”
Epstein was not a suicide
He was killed by:
1. Trump
2. Russians
3. Climate Change
4. Toxic Masculinity
when was he pronounced dead?
Whatever time/day he died, he was found this morning.
All articles say call to hospital at 6:30ish am and arrival at 7ish am
besides, it was just just a play on the 8/8 = HH = Heil Hitler thing the ex spook is trying to pin on trump
He hung himself with his right hand...he was left handed...
Could the far leftists like AOC have an interest in establishment Democrats being exposed in all this? They would of course want to replace the establishment people with neo-communists.
The liberals think Epstein had dirt on Trump.
I suspect he was not on suicide watch either.
Taken off for the purpose of giving him space to kill himself.
Go get ‘em, OCD!
The power outage a few weeks ago was highly suspicious. Perhaps the surveillance cameras were reprogrammed or perhaps software modified.
and suddenly there was silence.
Good point. True, Morning Joe knows a thing or two, about people mysteriously turning up dead.
“I doubt I agree with AOC because she likely believes Trump had Epstein killed”.
Exactly!! The whole bunch of them, especially the MSM want to blame DJT. They’ll shut up once the truth dawns on them.
Riiiiiight on time...!
AOC calling for answers? Does AOC know what the Clinton criminal cabal will do to her if she digs too deep? Very naive!
In some circles being on ‘suicide watch’ possibly means to watch them commit suicide, not prevent.
************
To paraphrase Bill Clinton (who had more than a passing interest in Epstein’s vulnerabilty) it all depends on what the meaning of the word ‘watch’ is.
So now Joe Scarborough is leading the “conspiracy “ charge. Cool!
Yeah but the only reason they are writing that is because they mistakenly believe Epstein had some damaging info on Trump.
Al Green was on Cavuto a bit ago and was echoing the same thing. He is demanding that the video be released to the public.
I smell a RAT. In their small divisive minds are they hoping to tie TRUMP into Epsteins death?
Amazing
A day Free Republic agrees with BOOBS ON A ROOF DANCING
She wouln’t know the difference between Brian and jeffrey!
