Former Attorney General William Barr has shared new details about his conversations with President Donald Trump following the 2019 death of Jeffrey Epstein in federal custody. The information comes from Barr’s testimony before a House investigative panel last month, with the full transcript released on Tuesday by House Oversight Chair James Comer.
Barr told the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee that he had at least two conversations with Trump about Epstein’s death. The first conversation happened immediately after Barr learned of the convicted sex offender’s apparent suicide in his Manhattan jail cell in August 2019.
