Attorney General Bill Barr said Saturday that he is “appalled” by Jeffrey Epstein’s death, and has consulted with the Inspector General about an investigation after Epstein hanged himself and was found in his jail cell early on Saturday.
“I was appalled to learn that Jeffrey Epstein was found dead early this morning from an apparent suicide while in federal custody,” Barr said.
“Mr. Epstein’s death raises serious questions that must be answered. In addition to the FBI’s investigation, I have consulted with the Inspector General who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein’s death.”
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons confirmed in a statement Saturday that the FBI would investigate the suicide of the financier, who is accused of sexually abusing and trafficking underage girls. There is nothing at this point to suggest foul play, a senior law enforcement official said.

He’s appalled?
Gee...so are we!!!! /s
He’s got to be BSing.
“IG and FBO investigating …”
Oh! Thank heavens! I feel so much better now!
Be still my beating heart. Barr is assigning the FBI and the DOI IG to investigate this matter. We will have a report about the time the Left marches us all off to the reeducation camps.
Given that he was already on suicide watch, it is rather surprising. This will surely squelch the ancillary investigations.
The fox investigating what happened to the hens.
That’s worth about a thimble of warm spit.
It was criminal not to have him under 24 hour observation.
Why was he there General Barr??
Appalled my @$$. You had the power to keep him safe
Eerie, isn’t it..?
Riiight after the FBI says the primary threat to US security is CONSPIRACY THEORISTS, then THIS goes and happens.
Is he shocked and outraged as well?
I’m just laughing here.
Might as well.
We’re so screwed, and there’s nothing anyone can do about it.
Oh NO! The Vaunted FBI The Keystone Kops who still haven’t found Horse Face Pugh, the old bag who was stealing from Baltimore.
No indication of foul play....except for the fact that Bill Clinton flew to Pedo Island with him numerous times. Nothing to see here, folks.
He had been taken off suicide watch before he killed himself, a person familiar with the matter told the AP. It wasn't immediately clear when he was taken off suicide watch.
Well, they better hurry, there could be more “suicides” any minute.
