2) Barr said there were “serious irregularities” at the prison where the Epstein apparently killed himself over the weekend.
Barr, who said he was “appalled” by Epstein’s death, said the case would continue and noted that “any co-conspirators should not rest easy.”
3) Barr said that the DOJ’s Inspector General is investigating the irregularities, saying “we’ll get to the bottom of what happened and there will be accountability.”
4) According to ABC News, Barr has instructed FBI Deputy Director David Bowdich to brief Deputy Attorney General Jeffrey Rosen “every three hours” on the FBI’s investigation into the cause of Epstein’s death and “numerous agents were assigned to the FBI and OIG investigations.”
5) On the same day as Barr’s comments, FBI agents conducted a raid on Epstein’s Little St. James Island.
At least a dozen agents were pictured disembarking speedboats and moving about the island using golf carts.

6) The autopsy on Epstein was performed Sunday but results have not been publicly released noting that the determination of the cause of death was “pending further information at this time.”
7) According to The Wall Street Journal, Epstein had been removed from suicide watch in late July at the request of his lawyers.

8) When the decision was made to remove Mr. Epstein from suicide watch, the jail informed the Justice Department that Mr. Epstein would have a cellmate and that a guard would look into his cell every 30 minutes.
These procedures were not followed on the night of Epstein’s death.
9) The New York Post reported that “There’s no surveillance video of the incident.”
While there are cameras in the cell block to which Epstein had been assigned, they were reportedly “trained on the areas outside the cells and not inside.”
10) One of the individuals who had been assigned to watch Epstein’s unit “did not normally work as a correctional officer but, like others in roles such as counselors and teachers, was able to do so.”

11) Epstein’s death followed the Friday release of more than 2,000 pages of documents related to a now-settled lawsuit against Epstein’s ex-girlfriend, Ghislaine Maxwell, by Virginia Giuffre.
12) Giuffre claimed that she was forced to have sex with Harvard law professor Alan Dershowitz, model scout Jean Luc Brunel, and "many other powerful men" in court documents.
Dershowitz and Brunel have denied the allegations.
13) According to the Giuffre court documents, the flight records are not complete as they were maintained by only one pilot, Dave Rodgers:
14) The Daily Mail reported on Aug. 11 that Ghislaine Maxwell was “ready to co-operate with the American authorities in their ongoing investigation into Prince Andrew’s late friend Jeffrey Epstein.”

15) Epstein’s financial dealings also appear to be coming under scrutiny.
Deutsche Bank, “where Mr. Epstein was a client from 2013 until June 2019, has been handing over transaction-by-transaction data to federal prosecutors and other authorities.”

16) It has also been reported that Les Wexner, a long-time client of Epstein’s has been providing documents to federal investigators which allegedly show “all sorts of irregularities and theft” on the part of Epstein.
