Nearly seven years after the death of disgraced financier and pedophile Jeffrey Epstein, newly released Justice Department files have revived questions about what happened inside a New York jail cell in the early hours of August 10, 2019.
Epstein, 66, had been arrested on July 6, 2019, at Teterboro Airport in New Jersey and was being held at Metropolitan Correctional Center in Manhattan while awaiting trial on sex trafficking charges. He pleaded not guilty and was placed in the jail’s Special Housing Unit over safety and suicide concerns.
