Jeffrey Edward Epstein committed suicide by hanging himself in his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, New York in Manhattan, New York City, New York, United States on August 10, 2019. He was 66.
On July 6, 2019, Epstein was arrested at Teterboro Airport in Teterboro, New Jersey on federal charges for sex trafficking of minors in Florida and New York. The well-connected multimillionaire, who had pleaded not guilty, was facing up to 45 years in prison if convicted.
Weeks before Epstein’s death, he was found semiconscious with marks on his neck in his prison cell, sources told NBC News on July 24, 2019. According to the sources, the injuries were not serious but he was on suicide watch.
Eventually, Epstein was removed from the suicide watch. Here are some of the celebrities who took to Twitter to react on his death:

Bill Barr’s DOJ took him off suicide watch. The same Barr who works for Trump. The same Barr who had to recuse in Epstein case in Florida. Tge sane Barr who refuses to recuse himself in NY & who’s father hired Epstein even though unqualified to teach KIDS.

What does the word watch mean in the phrase suicide
Watch? Who was watching? What does camera show? It is inconceivable Epstein could have hung himself if there was a suicide Watch? Follow the motives.— Rudy Giuliani (@RudyGiuliani) August 10, 2019
The crazy thing is, even if there had been another mass shooting this afternoon, Trump would have still re-tweeted the Epstein conspiracy theory videos

Jeffrey Epstein became an FBI informant to avoid federal charges in 2008. The FBI worked with a pedophile, & in turn made no subsequent arrests with the information he provided.
There are also significant claims he belonged to "intelligence", including from his own lawyers. pic.twitter.com/zy5EJstGfm

Wait, the president is retweeting crazy Jeffery Epstein conspiracy theories?

So…in two retweets, the President of the United States just basically accused the Clintons of murdering Jeffrey Epstein.

**BREAKING STATEMENT FROM AG Barr**
"Mr. Epstein's death raises serious questions that must be answered. In addition to the FBI's investigation, I have consulted with the Inspector General who is opening an investigation into the circumstances of Mr. Epstein's death."

Epstein will be this generation’s JFK conspiracy theory. It ‘connects‘ so much – sex abuse rings, the Clintons, the Trumps, the British royal family, and high finance – just to name a few.
The truth of whatever happened will never satisfy everyone. There will be decades of this.

There is no basis to believe the Clinton’s had anything to do with Epstein’s death. For Trump to suggest they’re somehow involved is irresponsible. He should be forced to immediately retract this but his own party is unwilling to hold him accountable for any of his failings. https://t.co/qnNYRkAl6F

As SDNY said today, Epstein's demise doesn't mean the investigation into his alleged sex trafficking ring is over.
Prosecutors have cited the conduct of his employees in court papers & they recovered videos from his safe labeled "Young [Name] + [Name]." https://t.co/q4jDjG8jam pic.twitter.com/HWwPENsS0b

Attorney General William Barr said in a statement that a special inquiry would be opened into what happened surrounding Jeffrey Epstein's death. Once that report is delivered, Barr will lie about what it says and exonerate Trump of all wrongdoing. #MuellerReport2

Jeffrey Epstein had dirt on some of the most powerful people in the world.
Which makes me wonder how a man under constant watch committed suicide?
Thankfully AG Barr will get to the bottom of this! https://t.co/SOANrOTYL6

Look at what the media has wrought. While Jeffrey Epstein’s co-conspirators get away with being rich and powerful pedophiles, publications like The Verge falsely accuse and slander George Takei who survived the Japanese internment camps. All for clicks and views. Disgusting. pic.twitter.com/9MMtk3p4Iu

when Trump retweets a conspiracy theory implicating the Clinton’s in Epstein death, is that a “gaffe”? https://t.co/YNsBjQOzNE
— Eric Boehlert (@EricBoehlert) August 10, 2019
Trump is President, not the Clintons. Barr is his handpicked AG. Epstein was the highest profile suspect. He was in federal custody. At the very least this is a massive embarrassment for Barr.

What about the Florida policeman Joseph Recarey who worked on trying to convict Epstein I 2005, took ,’about 700 CD’s over to John Mark Dougans house that showed politically important men in incriminating behavior with underage girls and left the CD’s with Dougan. Dougan ended up in Russia with the information on the tapes in hand. Wonder if the info affected the presidential elections not to mention other important events and how much Putin might own the men (Clinton, Trump?)
