Attorney General William Barr said Monday he learned of “serious irregularities” at the Manhattan prison where accused child sex trafficker Jeffrey Epstein died Saturday.
Barr vowed that the investigation will continue and warned that Epstein’s co-conspirators “should not rest easy.”
Dr. Barbara Sampson, New York City’s chief medical examiner, said Sunday evening an autopsy had been completed and that the medical examiner’s final determination is pending further information.
Barr, speaking at an event for the Fraternal Order of Police in New Orleans this morning, said that he was “appalled” to learn of Epstein’s apparent suicide and revealed the Justice Department was “learning of serious irregularities at this facility that are deeply concerning and demand a thorough investigation.” The Bureau of Prisons said Saturday that Epstein was found dead in his cell that morning.
He promised that Justice Department Inspector General Michael Horowitz and the FBI, who are both investigating the circumstances surrounding Epstein’s death, will "get to the bottom of what happened."

Barr said that the Justice Department would continue its investigation of Epstein’s alleged child trafficking conspiracy despite his death.
“Any co-conspirators should not rest easy. The victims deserve justice, and they will get it,” he said.
Prosecutors believe that Epstein had help committing his crimes, and there are believed to be many other alleged Epstein victims. The 14-page indictment unsealed in July references co-conspirators.
Epstein, the already convicted sex offender and jet-setting financier, was alleged to have “sexually exploited and abused dozens of minor girls” at his homes in Manhattan and Palm Beach, Florida, among other locations, between 2002 and 2005 and perhaps beyond. Prosecutors claimed Epstein “enticed and recruited” minor girls to “engage in sex acts with him” and built a “vast network of underage victims.”
Prosecutors alleged that an unnamed “New York-based employee” and two unnamed assistants in Palm Beach would help with scheduling some of these encounters, and that Epstein would also contact some of the victims directly. Investigators allege Epstein conspired with others to traffic minors for sex.
Prosecutors said Saturday that their investigation "remains ongoing."
