Former Assistant U.S. Attorney for the Southern District of New York Elie Honig believes that Jeffrey Epstein’s death “does pretty clearly look like a suicide,” but the circumstances surrounding the accused sex trafficker and billionaire financier’s passing also highlight “inexplicable negligence” of staffers at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan, where he was being held.
“There needs to be some serious accountability,” Honig said in an interview with the Yahoo News podcast “Skullduggery.” “How could this have happened? How could they have lost Jeffrey Epstein? How could they have lost the top-priority, highest-profile, most sensitive single inmate that they had at that time? There are a lot of questions that need to be answered.”
Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell on the morning of Aug. 10. New York City’s chief medical examiner ruled his death a suicide. The New York Times reported that guards fell asleep and failed to check on him for about three hours. Honig said there should have been an “extra red flag” in Epstein’s case, especially since he had tried to kill himself only three weeks earlier.Hours after Epstein’s death, Attorney General William Barr announced that the Department of Justice, which oversees the Bureau of Prisons, would launch a thorough investigation. On Thursday, CNN reported that federal investigators had issued as many as 20 grand jury subpoenas to MCC corrections officers.

French prosecutors open probe of possible crimes linked to Jeffrey EpsteinEpstein, 66, a former friend of Presidents Donald Trump and Bill Clinton, was arrested by FBI agents in early July as he stepped off his private plane at an airport in Teterboro, New Jersey, which had flown in from Paris. Is it me, or does it seem odd that the 'brilliant' French wait until the suspected criminal has died before they start to investigate if he had committed crimes. I guess they're just trying to get a shot at his $$$ - typical French/Socialists.
