Jeffrey Epstein, who has been accused of sexually abusing young girls, was found dead Saturday morning after he had apparently hanged himself. This happened a couple weeks after Epstein was said to have been taken off suicide watch at the Metropolitan Correctional Center in Lower Manhattan, where he had tried to kill himself on July 23, officials said. Many are questioning how this could have happened. Attorney General William Barr now says there were “serious irregularities” in the correctional facility. We take a look at the issue.
