FILE- In this July 30, 2008 file photo, Jeffrey Epstein appears in court in West Palm Beach, Fla. Epstein has died by suicide while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges, says person briefed on the matter, Saturday, Aug. 10, 2019.
Barr has ordered the inspector general to open an investigation into the death. The FBI is also investigating.The person spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity in order to discuss private conversations. She said Saturday that she would push to bring to justice those who helped Epstein even though his accusers will not get their day in court.
The U.S. Bureau of Prisons said Epstein was found unresponsive in his cell in the Metropolitan Correctional Center about 6:30 a.m. Saturday. A former law enforcement official says that Epstein died by suicide while awaiting trial on sex-trafficking charges in New York. The official had been briefed on the matter but spoke on condition of anonymity because he wasn’t authorized to discuss it publicly.
Cameron Lindsay, who ran three federal lockups, says Epstein should have been under constant supervision.

Something is fishy here. Don’t you agree.
Will anyone be held accountable?
His first statement: “My client...er I mean the President, had NOTHING to do with this.”
Good. It may be just that he committed suicide once off the suicide watch. That does happen. But when a former POTUS is involved and many other people linked to him have died of suicide in the past...one can't help to wonder.
MisterAntiBully HillaryClinton
Is this Barr’s idea of a capital punishment?
I breathlessly awaiting his summary of the incident. He is SOOO good at summaries.
Watch out IG. Clinton hit squad may go after you.
the suicide rate is growing rapidly
Willy Barr's boss, realDonaldTrump, was sweating bullets. So who took out Epstein inside prison? Bet Putin knows how it was done.
seungminkim Appalled at Barr still being in office
Was most likely Barr himself that pulled it off. Anything to keep his fuehrer in power😁
Nire_Black shocked, shocked...
Lmmfao Rite lying ass Fred Flintstone 😂😂😂😂
Failure for who , sounds like a victory to me , can you say conspiracy ?
Barr must be afraid if the FBI.
jeffgiesea Oh I’m sure more victims will feel safe coming forward after today....
Excellent reporting. Thank you.
Too bad jeff, you're gonna miss a helluva show.
🔥🔥🔥More “Fake” Stuff ,,,,,, The Guy was -eliminated !!!🔥🔥🔥💊⚖️
Is he?
Sure he is, wink, wink!
Wonder if that's all that was ordered! They will bury any fall out to the rich elite assholes that were involved
Wink wink coverup
KTLA The Clintons are happy 😂 PizzaGate EpsteinMurder JeffreyEpstein ClintonBodyCount ClintonCrimeFamily Clintoncide
Power, position, and money can get anything done in the world of darkness.
“investigate-ish”
Barr's investigating? This case will go nowhere
'I need to re-tweet it!'
colvinj On the inside, Barr is heel clicking down the hall. On the outside, he’s “appalled.”
They’ll investigate like they did Kavanaugh. Meaning not at all
Good.
appalled by barr.....now thats a guy who seeks the truth (I just chocked typing that)
Did the tax payers save money? If so 👏
Bill Barr and Trump win again
What's his ethnicity?
Why isn’t AGBarr appalled that Acosta was in the cabinet, Kavanaugh is a Supreme Court Justice, realDonaldTrump is a racist, at the casualties in the most recent mass shootings? EpsteinMurder Hypocrite
In other words, the AG was relieved.
Look no further than the Clintons ClintonBodyCount
Even locked in cages, rich people get more sympathy than poor ones.
RaymondArroyo Interesting ...’appalled by JE death’ note the absence of the word suicide. Interesting AP keeps calling it suicide, FBI is quoted as calling it suicide....Barr is quoted as calling it ‘death’.
Epstein was appalling, but the fact that he was in the hands of the authorities when he died makes me understand why fewer and fewer Americans have respect for “the authorities”
MisterAntiBully Lol
That's because he or his children weren't raped by him
bobbydtv Dead men tell no tales. Sounds like he was going to flip on someone.
I can’t believe this is appalled by anything. He is appalling.
seungminkim You mean “he’s ordered the IG to cover up.”
RaymondArroyo Loser Raymond. Why you dont retweet this white suprematist news? Is that against your foxnews and EWTNews contract?
I’m appalled you haven’t been disbarred yet
Why Barr this mother fucker is a child predator WTF did trump tell u to investigate because he’s scared he will be called out because he’s a child predator too
Why you already know what happen to him.
nedryun Investigate...Investigate...Investigate...is all we ever get. 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣 😂 🤣😂 🤣 SO DONE with the FBI, DOJ, IG, AG. Two Tired “Justice System”.
This must be investigated to the max. Hopefully Barr sends in real investigators, not 'tainted' ones.
DTRUMP4PREZ I man who either tried to kill himself or was assaulted and put on suicide watch is now dead. Why and when was he taken off suicide watch?
nedryun When has a DOJ investigation ever gone anywhere? Ever settled anything?
Yeah.... SURE he is...
nedryun “Appalled”
nedryun And here we go again...ANOTHER investigation.
KTLA Did they give him the rope to hang himself ?
Who the fuck paid off Barr and the prison guards. How much was it worth? 4 or 5 million $. Might have been worth it to several individuals! How is it possible someone on suicide watch commit suicide? This was a hit!
I don't believe him.
dwinfrey72 Sure he will BarrCoverUp
RaymondArroyo Bet that investigation will be just one more dead end street.
El Chapo Mexican prison escape, video released Gilroy Festival Shooting, video released, Walmart massacre: video released Dayton shooting: Video released Epstein death in max security jail: Investigation underway to try and determine what happened BULLSHIT
The person was associated with a current and a former President and a PM, not to mention all the wealthy friends and you expect ANYONE to buy Suicide? ANYONE? it was OBVIOUSLY a friggen hit, how are those kids ever getting a semblance of Justice?
Ya right
Trump's gonna get one of these next time he sees Putin.
Yes right. Like we believe anything this illegitimate rogue administration says.
The Democrats once again completed the 'crisis treatment' and protected Clinton. The Justice Department should investigate this matter in depth and destroy the Democratic Party.
Who do you think ordered his death so he would not say anything about who is involved with him .Hummm something smells fishy.
To cover up, the COVER UP😳
Failure = assasination
El Chappo gets his tunnel in solidarity and Epstein gets his rope while under suicide watch. When you have money and influence nothing is unattainable.
ClintonBodyCount
come on, you know hes looking to cover up whatever really happened
I'm sure the 'investigation' will be as thorough as the Kavanaugh 'investigation'.
Just call HillaryClinton or BillClinton . Arkancide
Nice try Barr. Why don't you just go golfing with Trump. He'll brag about it 3 minutes in.
😉
Murderer says he is appalled by his target's death. He's ordered an investigation that will prove its absolutely not his fault and especially not the fault of his Fuhrer from the white house.
Tell AG Barr maybe it was Dirty Harry getting justice
Yes. Quick. Investigate so you can focus the facts away from the victims being heard and the names that would become public during a trial. Seems awful convenient somehow. So Barr to the rescue to cover up. I don’t trust he will do right by the victims
Right ...there is probably picture of him too.
Barr is 'appalled'
Sure
Riiiiggghht, Barr. Why did you unrecuse yourself from the Epstein case? You're a Trump bootlicker of the highest order. So yeah, bet your investigation finds nothing and is swept under the rug quickly.
tconspiracyguys Which doesn’t mean shit, the people know ur all apart of it... keep lying and covering up, must b beer o’clock
Barr auditioned to be DOJ fixer/consigliere. Not his first rodeo. (Iran Contra) Barr family connected to Epstein. Bart made the call to “exonerate” a racist,rapist (foreign installed) “president”. Barr holds a “Whack- a-Mole” hammer. Yet - both parties stand down? impeachBarr
How about AG Barr opening an investigation on how Epstein was able to walk away so easy in Florida. Acosta should be investigated along everybody that was involved.
He finally killed someone on 5th Avenue
He's shocked....SHOCKED...to hear the news...
...Deep State, anyone?....
“I’m shocked, shocked I tell you... “
I think he spelled “relief” wrong
Yeah, right, he's 'appalled.'
seungminkim Esptein death a failure or a fake
BS he’s got a control over this , looking out for trump and company (Russia)
Do we have faith that this will be an objective investigation?
Barr was probably the ‘Tom Hayden’ that paid Jeffrey his last visit ‘for a chat.’ That’s how high all this goes. SemionMogilevich ghislanemaxwell Mob
He almost pushed back from the buffet he was so 'appalled'....'GET FOX NEWS ON THE PHONE' he screamed, spitting bacon acoss the Heritage Foundation dining hall. PIG!
APPALLED 😯 REALLY?
He should!!!
seungminkim Trump should have ordered the Deluxe Cover-up. This one has come apart at the seams.
Barr says he wasn't on suicide watch, just in the SHU. If that's true Barr should resign. Inexcusable negligence and it was on his watch.
corrected**: 'Attorney General Barr says he's ordered the death of Jeffrey Epstein and is appalled that the inspector general investigates it'
Of course.
It’s weird how in some certain photos , at first glance he looks a little bit like Anthony Bourdain 😳..deceased .
Bill Barr needs to keep his hands off any investigation into Epstein as Barr is compromised & nothing he says can be trusted. He should be impeached over his flagrant lying about Mueller's findings; THIS is just one more oppty for him to lie & cover-up.

Who will the MSM blame this on Clinton or Trump?
Yeah...too bad the left only believe witnesses against Trump and the GOP rather than those against the left.
“Appalled”
Drip drip drip that's not Ol Bill Clinton's dick! It's the Clinton blood trail, she's walking proof the US 'Justice' system is complete horseshit.
Bill barr should recuse..his father hired epstein. not going to jump into the conspiracy theories already flying, but it's worthwhile pointing out that the cabinet official ultimately responsible for the custody of Jeffrey Epstein was William Barr
Is he really! Nany people say that he is not!! Many people say he is worst and the weakest AG ever!
Like we trust him
seungminkim He said between yawns
Appalled at that choice of word. It's telling me what I already assumed about that level of man. Barr
Great news keep the FBI out of it.
Barr will have a summary of the investigation ready for release tomorrow.
They missed the frist time but got the second
Of course he’s not
