Breaking News: Attorney General William Barr said there were "serious irregularities" at the jail where Jeffrey Epstein was found dead

Just in: One of Jeffrey Epstein's guards was not a full-fledged officer, and he was not checked on for hours in the short-staffed jail where he died.

Prison staff were supposed to check on Jeffrey Epstein every 30 minutes. Instead, he was left alone for several hours. ⁦@AliWatkins⁩ ⁦@ktbenner⁩ ⁦@nytimes⁩

NEW: Now we begin to learn what Attorney General Barr meant by "serious irregularities" in how Jeffrey Epstein was treated in a Manhattan jail before he was found dead. Important reporting by @AliWatkins @KTBenner @danielle_ivory and others.

Epstein's suicide: it's a conspiracy after all...a conspiracy of dunces. Again... "never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetence or chance."
